HMO fire doors in Leatherhead, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Leatherhead, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Leatherhead range from houses with integral garages to small offices and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Leatherhead, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Leatherhead 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:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Which fire door rules apply in Leatherhead?
In Leatherhead, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Leatherhead building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Leatherhead need HMO fire doors?
From bedsit conversions to converted period houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Leatherhead comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Leatherhead within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Leatherhead in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Epsom. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 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.
