What HMO fire doors in Yate should include
From the BS37 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Yate for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Yate, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Closers we fit in Yate HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Yate, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
Each installation includes:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Which fire door rules apply in Yate?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yate are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Yate block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
