HMO fire doors for Saddleworth buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Saddleworth, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Saddleworth has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Saddleworth directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Saddleworth 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.
Each installation includes:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Saddleworth
England's framework applies in Saddleworth. 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 Saddleworth, 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.
