HMO fire doors: our service in Sunbury-on-Thames
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sunbury-on-Thames, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Sunbury-on-Thames has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Sunbury-on-Thames directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Sunbury-on-Thames HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming

It is. We cover Sunbury-on-Thames in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames. There is no charge for the survey.

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.
