Getting HMO fire doors right in Thornton-Cleveleys
From the FY5 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Thornton-Cleveleys for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Thornton-Cleveleys protect escape routes in schools, small offices and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Thornton-Cleveleys, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Thornton-Cleveleys 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.
What you get:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

Questions
Is Thornton-Cleveleys within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Thornton-Cleveleys in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Fleetwood. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Thornton-Cleveleys building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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 HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
