Getting HMO fire doors right in Wellington
If you need HMO fire doors in Wellington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Wellington protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Wellington HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Wellington, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Which fire door rules apply in Wellington?
In Wellington, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Wellington building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Buildings and duty holders in Wellington
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include student lets, bedsit conversions and shared houses. In Wellington, 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.

Questions from Wellington
Do you cover TF1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wellington including TF1, and nearby towns such as Telford and Shrewsbury. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wellington 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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
