HMO fire doors in Gosport, done to the evidence
If you need HMO fire doors in Gosport, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Gosport protect escape routes in HMOs, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Gosport, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Gosport directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Gosport
In Gosport, 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 Gosport 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.

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.

Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
