HMO fire doors in Barnet: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Barnet, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Barnet, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Barnet directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Barnet 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:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Rules and responsibilities in Barnet
England's framework applies in Barnet. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Barnet, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Barnet within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Barnet in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hadley Wood. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Barnet?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
