What HMO fire doors in Speke should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Speke, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Speke range from care homes to houses with integral garages and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Speke directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Speke 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors

Common questions
Do you work in Speke?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Speke and the surrounding area, including Halewood and Garston. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Speke 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.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
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.
