Getting HMO fire doors right in Bordon
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bordon, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Bordon protect escape routes in care homes, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Bordon, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Bordon directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Bordon
In Bordon, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bordon building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Bordon need HMO fire doors?
From converted period houses to student lets, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Bordon 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.

Questions from Bordon
Is Bordon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bordon in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Farnham. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
