HMO fire doors in Rugby

HMO fire doors in Rugby: what's involved

When you book HMO fire doors in Rugby, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Around Rugby, schools, HMOs 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 Rugby, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Rugby 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

Which fire door rules apply in Rugby?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Rugby 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 Rugby 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.
