Buildings in and around Hadley Wood range from student accommodation to purpose-built blocks of flats and converted flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Closers we fit in Hadley Wood HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Hadley Wood, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
