HMO fire doors in Warwickshire: what's involved
We provide HMO fire doors across Warwickshire, covering 7 towns and 22 postcode districts, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.
For HMO landlords in Warwickshire, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Warwickshire directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Warwickshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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 the rules say for Warwickshire
Fire doors in Warwickshire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Warwickshire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
