HMO fire doors in Jarrow, done to the evidence
If you need HMO fire doors in Jarrow, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Jarrow range from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings. 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 Jarrow directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Jarrow 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
What the rules say for Jarrow
The rules that apply to fire doors in Jarrow 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 Jarrow 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
Do you cover NE32 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Jarrow including NE32, and nearby towns such as Hebburn and Wallsend. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Jarrow?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
