HMO fire doors: our service in Hinckley
From the LE10 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Hinckley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Hinckley range from industrial estates to high-street shops and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Hinckley, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Hinckley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Hinckley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hinckley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Hinckley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Hinckley need HMO fire doors?
The need for HMO fire doors usually arises in shared houses or student lets, and sometimes bedsit conversions. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Hinckley to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Do you work in Hinckley?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Hinckley and the surrounding area, including Nuneaton and Bedworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hinckley?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
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.
