HMO fire doors for Grantham buildings
Looking for HMO fire doors in Grantham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Grantham and the wider Lincolnshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Grantham, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and small offices 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.
Closers we fit in Grantham HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Grantham, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Grantham
England's framework applies in Grantham. 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 Grantham, 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.
Which buildings in Grantham need HMO fire doors?
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include shared houses, bedsit conversions and converted period houses. In Grantham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Grantham
Is Grantham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Grantham in Lincolnshire and neighbouring towns such as Newark-on-Trent. There is no charge for the survey.
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 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.
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.
