HMO fire doors: our service in Dundee
If you need HMO fire doors in Dundee, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Dundee protect escape routes in GP surgeries, offices and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Dundee, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Dundee HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
What the rules say for Dundee
In Dundee, 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.
Which buildings in Dundee need HMO fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Dundee can all commission HMO fire doors from us. The usual settings are bedsit conversions and converted period houses, though single doors for student lets are just as welcome.

Questions
Do you cover DD1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Dundee including DD1, and nearby towns such as Arbroath and Perth. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Dundee?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
