HMO fire doors for Northolt buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Northolt, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Northolt range from mixed-use office buildings to clinics and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Northolt, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Northolt directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Northolt properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northolt are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Northolt block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is Northolt within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Northolt in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Greenford. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
