For HMO landlords in Stamford, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Stamford 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:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Fire door law for Stamford properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stamford 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 Stamford 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.

Do you cover PE9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stamford including PE9, and nearby towns such as Peterborough and Corby. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stamford 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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
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.
