HMO fire doors in Arbroath: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Arbroath, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Arbroath, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Arbroath, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Arbroath 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:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Fire door law for Arbroath properties
In Arbroath, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
