For HMO landlords in Cwmbran, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Cwmbran directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Cwmbran, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Common questions
Do you cover NP44 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cwmbran including NP44, and nearby towns such as Pontypool and Risca. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cwmbran 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.
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.
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.
