HMO fire doors for Hucknall buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hucknall, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Hucknall protect escape routes in care homes, schools and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Hucknall, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Hucknall 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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Hucknall properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hucknall 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 Hucknall 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Hucknall
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include bedsit conversions, student lets and converted period houses. In Hucknall, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you cover NG15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hucknall including NG15, and nearby towns such as Arnold and Kirkby in Ashfield. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
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.
