HMO fire doors: our service in Bushey
Our HMO fire doors service in Bushey is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Bushey protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Bushey, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Bushey 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.
What you get:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Fire doors in Bushey fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Is Bushey within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bushey in Hertfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Watford. There is no charge for the survey.
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 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.
