What HMO fire doors in Warwick should include
Our HMO fire doors service covers Warwick 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.
Around Warwick, care homes, schools and family homes after loft conversions 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.
Closers we fit in Warwick HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Warwick, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
What you get:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Which fire door rules apply in Warwick?
In Warwick, 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 Warwick 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.
