HMO fire doors in Daventry

What HMO fire doors in Daventry should include

When you book HMO fire doors in Daventry, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Fire doors in Daventry protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

For HMO landlords in Daventry, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Daventry 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Self-closers set to close without slamming

What the rules say for Daventry

Fire doors in Daventry fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Daventry above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
