Getting HMO fire doors right in Greater Manchester
We provide HMO fire doors across Greater Manchester, covering 40 towns and 87 postcode districts, including Manchester, Oldham and Wigan.
Closers we fit in Greater Manchester HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. We can price an HMO in Greater Manchester directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Greater Manchester has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Greater Manchester properties
England's framework applies in Greater Manchester. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Greater Manchester, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

HMO fire doors questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Greater Manchester?
Yes. We cover all of Greater Manchester, including Manchester and Oldham. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
