HMO fire doors in Gorseinon, done to the evidence
Looking for HMO fire doors in Gorseinon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Gorseinon and the wider West Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Gorseinon range from small offices to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Gorseinon directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Gorseinon HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Gorseinon
Gorseinon is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Do you work in Gorseinon?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Gorseinon and the surrounding area, including Llanelli and Swansea. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Gorseinon building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
