HMO fire doors for Walton-on-Thames buildings
If you need HMO fire doors in Walton-on-Thames, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Walton-on-Thames range from small offices to light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Walton-on-Thames directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Walton-on-Thames 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
What the rules say for Walton-on-Thames

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

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.
