Buildings in and around Purley range from care homes to converted flats and mixed-use office buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

We can price an HMO in Purley directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Purley HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.

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.

What you get:

• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
