What HMO fire doors in Cheadle Hulme should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cheadle Hulme, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Cheadle Hulme protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Cheadle Hulme HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Cheadle Hulme, 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Do you cover SK8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cheadle Hulme including SK8, and nearby towns such as Stockport and Hazel Grove. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cheadle Hulme building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
