What HMO fire doors in Uxbridge should include
Looking for HMO fire doors in Uxbridge? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Uxbridge and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Uxbridge range from care homes to purpose-built blocks of flats and shared houses. 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 Uxbridge, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Uxbridge HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
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 Uxbridge
The rules that apply to fire doors in Uxbridge 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Uxbridge sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Uxbridge 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.
Which buildings in Uxbridge need HMO fire doors?

We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
