HMO fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea: what's involved
Our HMO fire doors service covers Burnham-on-Sea and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Burnham-on-Sea has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Burnham-on-Sea, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Burnham-on-Sea 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.
What you get:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Burnham-on-Sea

Where a Burnham-on-Sea 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.

It is. We cover Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Weston-super-Mare. There is no charge for the survey.

Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.

In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
