HMO fire doors: our service in Kidsgrove
Our HMO fire doors service in Kidsgrove is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Kidsgrove has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Closers we fit in Kidsgrove HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Kidsgrove, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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 you get:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Fire door law for Kidsgrove properties
Fire doors in Kidsgrove fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Kidsgrove above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Do you cover ST7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Kidsgrove including ST7, and nearby towns such as Congleton and Newcastle-under-Lyme. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Kidsgrove?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
