HMO fire doors: our service in Wishaw
Our HMO fire doors service covers Wishaw and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Wishaw, schools, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions 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 Wishaw, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Wishaw 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.
Each installation includes:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Wishaw?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Wishaw. 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 Wishaw are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
