HMO fire doors in Coalville: what's involved
We provide HMO fire doors in Coalville (LE67 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Coalville has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Coalville directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Coalville HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
What the rules say for Coalville
England's framework applies in Coalville. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Coalville, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Coalville?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Coalville and the surrounding area, including Loughborough and Swadlincote. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
