HMO fire doors for Willesden buildings
Our HMO fire doors service covers Willesden and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Willesden, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Willesden directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Willesden 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Willesden properties
In Willesden, 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 Willesden 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.

Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
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.
