Getting HMO fire doors right in Tonypandy
If you need HMO fire doors in Tonypandy, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Tonypandy, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Tonypandy, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Tonypandy directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.
As standard, the work covers:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Which fire door rules apply in Tonypandy?
Because Tonypandy is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Tonypandy comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Tonypandy need HMO fire doors?

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