What HMO fire doors in Fulham should include
When you book HMO fire doors in Fulham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Fulham, fire door work covers everything from clinics to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Fulham, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Fulham 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Fulham properties
England's framework applies in Fulham. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Fulham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Fulham, 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.
