HMO fire doors: our service in Havant
When you book HMO fire doors in Havant, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Havant protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can price an HMO in Havant directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Havant HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
The regulations behind fire doors in Havant
England's framework applies in Havant. 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 Havant, 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 Havant
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include converted period houses, student lets and bedsit conversions. In Havant, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Havant
Do you work in Havant?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Havant and the surrounding area, including Waterlooville and Portsmouth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 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 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.
