HMO fire doors for Wallington buildings
If you need HMO fire doors in Wallington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Wallington, clinics, schools and restaurants all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Closers we fit in Wallington HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Wallington, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Wallington within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wallington in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Carshalton. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Wallington?
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.
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.
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.
