What HMO fire doors in Musselburgh should include

For HMO landlords in Musselburgh, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Musselburgh HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets

Residential common parts in Musselburgh are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.

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