For HMO landlords in Aberdare, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Aberdare directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Aberdare
Aberdare is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
Where HMO fire doors fit in Aberdare
From student lets to bedsit conversions, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Aberdare comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Aberdare within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Aberdare in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Rhondda. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aberdare 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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
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.
