HMO fire doors in Heywood

HMO fire doors: our service in Heywood

Looking for HMO fire doors in Heywood? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Heywood and the wider Greater Manchester area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

In and around Heywood, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Closers we fit in Heywood HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Heywood, 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
• Self-closers set to close without slamming
• Photo record for licensing and inspections

The regulations behind fire doors in Heywood

The rules that apply to fire doors in Heywood 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 Heywood 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.

Which buildings in Heywood need HMO fire doors?

Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Heywood can all commission HMO fire doors from us. The usual settings are bedsit conversions and student lets, though single doors for converted period houses are just as welcome.
