HMO fire doors in Cricklewood, done to the evidence
We provide HMO fire doors in Cricklewood (NW2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Cricklewood protect escape routes in converted flats, purpose-built blocks of flats and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Cricklewood HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Cricklewood, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Cricklewood
England's framework applies in Cricklewood. 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 Cricklewood, 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.

The need for HMO fire doors usually arises in shared houses or converted period houses, and sometimes bedsit conversions. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Cricklewood to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Do you work in Cricklewood?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Cricklewood and the surrounding area, including Kilburn and Willesden. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cricklewood 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.
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.
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.
