HMO fire door installation in Cumbernauld

HMO fire doors: our service in Cumbernauld

If you need HMO fire doors in Cumbernauld, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Cumbernauld, fire door work covers everything from care homes to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We can price an HMO in Cumbernauld directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Cumbernauld HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.

What councils typically look for

Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.

As standard, the work covers:

• Self-closers set to close without slamming
• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
