HMO fire doors in Radcliffe, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service covers Radcliffe 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.
In and around Radcliffe, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Radcliffe directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Radcliffe 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:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Fire door law for Radcliffe properties
Fire doors in Radcliffe 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.

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.

Questions from Radcliffe
Do you cover M26 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Radcliffe including M26, and nearby towns such as Whitefield and Prestwich. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Radcliffe?
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.
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 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.
