What HMO fire doors in South Glamorgan should include
Across South Glamorgan, from Cardiff to Barry, we survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
For HMO landlords in South Glamorgan, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in South Glamorgan directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
South Glamorgan has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
What the rules say for South Glamorgan
South Glamorgan is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across South Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of South Glamorgan, including Cardiff and Barry. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.

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