What HMO fire doors in Greenock should include
Our HMO fire doors service covers Greenock and the wider Renfrewshire & Inverclyde area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Greenock, schools, care homes and family homes after loft conversions 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.
Closers we fit in Greenock HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Greenock, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Greenock
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Greenock. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Greenock are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

The need for HMO fire doors usually arises in shared houses or bedsit conversions, and sometimes student lets. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Greenock to keep escape routes protected throughout.
