HMO fire doors: our service in Fleet
We provide HMO fire doors in Fleet (GU51 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fleet has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, schools and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Fleet directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Fleet HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Fleet
England's framework applies in Fleet. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Fleet, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Where HMO fire doors fit in Fleet
From bedsit conversions to student lets, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Fleet 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Fleet?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Fleet and the surrounding area, including Farnborough and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Fleet?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
