What HMO fire doors in Urmston should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Urmston, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Urmston has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Urmston, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Urmston HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
What the rules say for Urmston
England's framework applies in Urmston. 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 Urmston, 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.

Questions from Urmston
Is Urmston within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Urmston in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Stretford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Urmston building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
