What HMO fire doors in Gwynedd should include
Our HMO fire doors service covers all of Gwynedd, across postcode districts including LL23, LL78 and LL57.
We can price an HMO in Gwynedd directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Gwynedd HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Gwynedd has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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 the rules say for Gwynedd
Gwynedd is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

HMO fire doors questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Gwynedd?
Yes. We cover all of Gwynedd. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
