HMO fire doors in Pontypool, done to the evidence
When you book HMO fire doors in Pontypool, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Pontypool range from small offices to houses with integral garages and care homes. 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 Pontypool, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Pontypool 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.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Pontypool
Fire door work in Pontypool follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Pontypool, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions
Do you cover NP4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pontypool including NP4, and nearby towns such as Cwmbran and Risca. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Pontypool 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.
