HMO fire doors for Rhondda buildings
When you book HMO fire doors in Rhondda, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Rhondda protect escape routes in care homes, high-street shops and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Rhondda, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Rhondda directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Rules and responsibilities in Rhondda
Fire door work in Rhondda follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Rhondda, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Which buildings in Rhondda need HMO fire doors?
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include bedsit conversions, student lets and shared houses.

We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Rhondda?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Rhondda and the surrounding area, including Tonypandy and Aberdare. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
