HMO fire doors: our service in Halewood
We provide HMO fire doors in Halewood (L26 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Halewood, small offices, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings 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 Halewood HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Halewood, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
