What HMO fire doors in Sheffield should include
Looking for HMO fire doors in Sheffield? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Sheffield, fire door work covers everything from care homes to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Sheffield, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Sheffield directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

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.

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.
