HMO fire doors: our service in Ebbw Vale
Our HMO fire doors service in Ebbw Vale is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Ebbw Vale range from schools to family homes after loft conversions 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.
Closers we fit in Ebbw Vale HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Ebbw Vale, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Fire door law for Ebbw Vale properties
Because Ebbw Vale is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Ebbw Vale comes from your fire risk assessment.

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.
