HMO fire doors for Royton buildings
From the OL2 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Royton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Royton range from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Royton directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Royton HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
What you get:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Royton
England's framework applies in Royton. 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 Royton, 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.

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