HMO fire doors for Hebburn buildings
We provide HMO fire doors in Hebburn (NE31 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Hebburn, houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For HMO landlords in Hebburn, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Hebburn 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
What the rules say for Hebburn
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hebburn 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 Hebburn 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.

Common questions
Do you cover NE31 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hebburn including NE31, and nearby towns such as Jarrow and Wallsend. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
