Getting HMO fire doors right in Eccles
We provide HMO fire doors in Eccles (M30 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Eccles, care homes, small offices and schools 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 Eccles directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Eccles 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Eccles
In Eccles, 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 Eccles 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.

Questions from Eccles
Do you cover M30 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Eccles including M30, and nearby towns such as Swinton and Salford. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Eccles?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
