HMO fire doors in Lanarkshire: what's involved
Across Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride to Hamilton, we survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
For HMO landlords in Lanarkshire, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Lanarkshire HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Lanarkshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Lanarkshire
In Lanarkshire, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
