What HMO fire doors in Old Trafford should include
Our HMO fire doors service in Old Trafford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Old Trafford protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Old Trafford, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Old Trafford 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Old Trafford properties
Fire doors in Old Trafford fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Old Trafford above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Where HMO fire doors fit in Old Trafford
From bedsit conversions to shared houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Old Trafford comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
