Getting HMO fire doors right in Stratford
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stratford, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Stratford protect escape routes in care homes, student accommodation and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Stratford, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Stratford 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
What the rules say for Stratford
In Stratford, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Stratford building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Stratford
Do you work in Stratford?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Stratford and the surrounding area, including Bow and Canning Town. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Stratford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
