HMO fire doors for Herefordshire buildings
Our HMO fire doors service covers all of Herefordshire, across postcode districts including HR1, WR13 and HR6.
We can price an HMO in Herefordshire directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. For HMO landlords in Herefordshire, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Herefordshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for Herefordshire properties
In Herefordshire, 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 Herefordshire 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.

HMO fire doors questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Herefordshire?

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.
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.
