What HMO fire doors in Bedworth should include
From the CV12 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Bedworth for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Bedworth, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For HMO landlords in Bedworth, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Bedworth directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
What the rules say for Bedworth
In Bedworth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bedworth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

In Bedworth, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Bedworth
Is Bedworth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bedworth in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
