What HMO fire doors in Reigate should include
If you need HMO fire doors in Reigate, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Reigate, fire door work covers everything from care homes to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Closers we fit in Reigate HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Reigate, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Fire door law for Reigate properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Reigate are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Reigate block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Reigate
Do you work in Reigate?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Reigate and the surrounding area, including Redhill and Horley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 tenants lock their bedroom doors?
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.
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.
