HMO fire doors in South Croydon

HMO fire doors: our service in South Croydon

From the CR2 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across South Croydon for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around South Croydon, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We can price an HMO in South Croydon directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in South Croydon 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.

What you get:

• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Self-closers set to close without slamming
• Photo record for licensing and inspections

What the rules say for South Croydon

England's framework applies in South Croydon. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For blocks over 11 metres in South Croydon, 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.
