HMO fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service covers Stratford-upon-Avon and the wider Warwickshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Stratford-upon-Avon, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Stratford-upon-Avon directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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 you get:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
