HMO fire doors in Prestwich, done to the evidence
We provide HMO fire doors in Prestwich (M25 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Prestwich has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Prestwich, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Prestwich 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Prestwich
England's framework applies in Prestwich. 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 Prestwich, 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.

Common questions
Is Prestwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Prestwich in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Whitefield. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
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.
