HMO fire doors in Leigh

HMO fire doors for Leigh buildings

Our HMO fire doors service covers Leigh and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Leigh has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small offices and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For HMO landlords in Leigh, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Leigh HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.

Fitting around tenants

HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.

What you get:

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

Fire door law for Leigh properties

England's framework applies in Leigh. 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 Leigh, 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.
