HMO fire doors: our service in Aldershot
We provide HMO fire doors in Aldershot (GU11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Aldershot protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Aldershot HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Aldershot, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Aldershot
The rules that apply to fire doors in Aldershot are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Aldershot block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where HMO fire doors fit in Aldershot
From converted period houses to shared houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Aldershot comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Do I need to be there for the survey?

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.
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.
