HMO fire doors: our service in Brierley Hill
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Brierley Hill, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Brierley Hill protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can price an HMO in Brierley Hill directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Brierley Hill HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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.
What you get:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Which fire door rules apply in Brierley Hill?
In Brierley Hill, 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 Brierley Hill 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.

Questions
Is Brierley Hill within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Brierley Hill in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Stourbridge. 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 HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
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.
