Getting HMO fire doors right in York
If you need HMO fire doors in York, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around York, schools, offices and industrial units 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.
We can price an HMO in York directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in York 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Which fire door rules apply in York?
The rules that apply to fire doors in York are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a York block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
