HMO fire doors in Airdrie, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service in Airdrie is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Airdrie, houses with integral garages, schools and light industrial buildings 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.
For HMO landlords in Airdrie, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Airdrie directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming

The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Airdrie are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
