HMO fire doors in Whitefield, done to the evidence
If you need HMO fire doors in Whitefield, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Whitefield range from light industrial buildings to care homes and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Whitefield, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Whitefield 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.
What you get:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Fire doors in Whitefield 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.

Common questions
Is Whitefield within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Whitefield in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Radcliffe. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Whitefield?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
