What HMO fire doors in Notting Hill should include
Looking for HMO fire doors in Notting Hill? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Notting Hill and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Notting Hill range from converted flats to care homes and hotels. 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 Notting Hill, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Notting Hill HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
Each installation includes:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
What the rules say for Notting Hill
Fire doors in Notting Hill fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
