Getting HMO fire doors right in Salford
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Salford, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Salford, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built flats to offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Salford directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Salford 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.
On a typical job that means:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Salford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Salford are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Salford block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Salford need HMO fire doors?
From shared houses to converted period houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Salford 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.

Questions
Do you work in Salford?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Salford and the surrounding area, including Eccles and Old Trafford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Salford?
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.
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.
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.
