HMO fire doors: our service in Glasgow
Our HMO fire doors service covers all of Glasgow, across postcode districts including G1, G69 and G31.
For HMO landlords in Glasgow, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Glasgow directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Glasgow can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for Glasgow properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Glasgow. 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 Glasgow are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
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.
