HMO fire doors: our service in Worksop
If you need HMO fire doors in Worksop, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Worksop protect escape routes in care homes, houses with integral garages 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 Worksop, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Worksop 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:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
