HMO fire doors: our service in Farnham
Our HMO fire doors service in Farnham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Farnham, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We can price an HMO in Farnham directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Farnham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Which fire door rules apply in Farnham?
Fire doors in Farnham 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 Farnham 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.
