HMO fire doors: our service in Dukinfield
If you need HMO fire doors in Dukinfield, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Dukinfield protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Dukinfield, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Dukinfield 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Dukinfield
England's framework applies in Dukinfield. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Dukinfield, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
