What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
What you get:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
The regulations behind fire doors in Kirkby
England's framework applies in Kirkby. 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 Kirkby, 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.
