HMO fire doors in Beverley, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Beverley, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Beverley, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Beverley directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Beverley HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Beverley
England's framework applies in Beverley. 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 Beverley, 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.
Who needs HMO fire doors in Beverley?
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include bedsit conversions, student lets and shared houses. In Beverley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Beverley
Do you cover HU17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Beverley including HU17, and nearby towns such as Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
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.
