HMO fire doors for Woking buildings
Our HMO fire doors service in Woking is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Woking has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial units, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Woking directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Woking 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.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
The regulations behind fire doors in Woking
England's framework applies in Woking. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Woking, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you cover GU22 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Woking including GU22, and nearby towns such as Guildford and Egham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Woking building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
