Getting HMO fire doors right in Tiverton
Looking for HMO fire doors in Tiverton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Tiverton and the wider Devon area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Tiverton range from light industrial buildings to care homes and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Tiverton directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Tiverton HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
What the rules say for Tiverton
England's framework applies in Tiverton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Tiverton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
