Getting HMO fire doors right in Kingston upon Hull
We provide HMO fire doors in Kingston upon Hull (HU1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Kingston upon Hull protect escape routes in hotels, converted flats and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Kingston upon Hull, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Kingston upon Hull 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
