What HMO fire doors in Bury should include
When you book HMO fire doors in Bury, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Bury range from houses with integral garages to schools and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Closers we fit in Bury HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Bury, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Bury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bury 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 Bury 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.

Questions
Do you cover BL9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bury including BL9, and nearby towns such as Radcliffe and Heywood. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Bury?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
