HMO fire doors: our service in Egham
Our HMO fire doors service in Egham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Egham protect escape routes in schools, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Egham, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Egham HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
What you get:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Egham
England's framework applies in Egham. 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 Egham, 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.
Which buildings in Egham need HMO fire doors?
The need for HMO fire doors usually arises in bedsit conversions or shared houses, and sometimes student lets. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Egham to keep escape routes protected throughout.

- Review the council's requirements or schedule of works
- Survey each door and frame

Common questions
Is Egham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Egham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Staines. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Egham 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.
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.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
