HMO fire doors in Woodford Green: what's involved
From the IG8 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Woodford Green for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Woodford Green range from care homes to restaurants and clinics. 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 Woodford Green, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Woodford Green directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Common questions
Is Woodford Green within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Woodford Green in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Chingford. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
