Getting HMO fire doors right in Yeovil
If you need HMO fire doors in Yeovil, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Yeovil has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Yeovil directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Yeovil 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Which fire door rules apply in Yeovil?
England's framework applies in Yeovil. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Yeovil, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Buildings and duty holders in Yeovil
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Yeovil can all commission HMO fire doors from us. The usual settings are student lets and bedsit conversions, though single doors for converted period houses are just as welcome.

Common questions
Is Yeovil within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Yeovil in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Bridgwater. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Yeovil 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.
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.
