What HMO fire doors in Bolton should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bolton, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Bolton range from industrial units to HMOs and GP surgeries. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Bolton directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Bolton HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Rules and responsibilities in Bolton
In Bolton, 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.
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 Bolton 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.
