What HMO fire doors in Lytham St Annes should include
Our HMO fire doors service covers Lytham St Annes and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Lytham St Annes, houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and schools 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.
We can price an HMO in Lytham St Annes directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Lytham St Annes 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.
Each installation includes:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets

For blocks over 11 metres in Lytham St Annes, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

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.
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.
