HMO fire doors in Camden Town, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Camden Town, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Camden Town, fire door work covers everything from hotels to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Camden Town, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Camden Town directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
The regulations behind fire doors in Camden Town
In Camden Town, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Camden Town building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

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 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.
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.
