What HMO fire doors in Renfrew should include
If you need HMO fire doors in Renfrew, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Renfrew, houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats 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 Renfrew directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Renfrew HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.
Each installation includes:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Which fire door rules apply in Renfrew?
In Renfrew, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
Who needs HMO fire doors in Renfrew?
From bedsit conversions to student lets, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Renfrew comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover PA4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Renfrew including PA4, and nearby towns such as Clydebank and Paisley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Renfrew building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
