What HMO fire doors in Broadstairs should include
Our HMO fire doors service in Broadstairs is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Broadstairs, fire door work covers everything from care homes to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Broadstairs directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Broadstairs 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:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
What the rules say for Broadstairs
The rules that apply to fire doors in Broadstairs are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Broadstairs block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Broadstairs
Do you cover CT10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Broadstairs including CT10, and nearby towns such as Ramsgate and Margate. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Broadstairs?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
