What HMO fire doors in New Milton should include
If you need HMO fire doors in New Milton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around New Milton, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We can price an HMO in New Milton directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in New Milton 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Fire door law for New Milton properties
In New Milton, 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 New Milton 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.
