HMO fire doors in Wallasey

HMO fire doors for Wallasey buildings

Our HMO fire doors service in Wallasey is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Wallasey, low-rise blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops 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.

For HMO landlords in Wallasey, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Wallasey 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:

• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
• Self-closers set to close without slamming
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors

Fire door law for Wallasey properties

England's framework applies in Wallasey. 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 Wallasey, 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.
