HMO fire door installation in Ashton-under-Lyne

HMO fire doors in Ashton-under-Lyne: what's involved

Our HMO fire doors service covers Ashton-under-Lyne 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.

Around Ashton-under-Lyne, light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices 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.

We can price an HMO in Ashton-under-Lyne directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Ashton-under-Lyne 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.

Each installation includes:

• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• Self-closers set to close without slamming
