In and around Swadlincote, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Swadlincote, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Swadlincote directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
