What HMO fire doors in Falkirk should include
Our HMO fire doors service in Falkirk is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Falkirk protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small offices and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can price an HMO in Falkirk directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Falkirk 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Fire door law for Falkirk properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Falkirk. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Falkirk are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions from Falkirk
Do you cover FK1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Falkirk including FK1, and nearby towns such as Alloa and Cumbernauld. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Falkirk building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
