HMO fire doors for Lincolnshire buildings
Our HMO fire doors service runs throughout Lincolnshire. Main towns include Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For HMO landlords in Lincolnshire, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Lincolnshire directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Fire door work in Lincolnshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Lincolnshire
Fire doors in Lincolnshire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Lincolnshire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
