HMO fire doors in Altrincham: what's involved
Our HMO fire doors service covers Altrincham and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Altrincham protect escape routes in schools, small offices and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Altrincham, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Altrincham directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
What you get:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Altrincham?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Altrincham 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.
Where a Altrincham 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 Altrincham need HMO fire doors?
From bedsit conversions to shared houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Altrincham comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
