HMO fire doors: our service in Poole
From the BH15 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Poole for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Poole has a broad mix of buildings, including GP surgeries, schools and purpose-built flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Poole, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Poole directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Fire door law for Poole properties
Fire doors in Poole fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Poole above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.
