Getting HMO fire doors right in Billericay
Our HMO fire doors service in Billericay is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Billericay, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Closers we fit in Billericay HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Billericay, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
