HMO fire doors for Liverpool buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Liverpool, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Liverpool protect escape routes in schools, purpose-built blocks of flats and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can price an HMO in Liverpool directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Liverpool HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Rules and responsibilities in Liverpool
In Liverpool, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Liverpool building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs HMO fire doors in Liverpool?

Questions
Is Liverpool within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Liverpool in Merseyside and neighbouring towns such as Birkenhead. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Liverpool?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
