HMO fire doors for Sutton Coldfield buildings
Our HMO fire doors service in Sutton Coldfield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Sutton Coldfield protect escape routes in schools, GP surgeries and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Sutton Coldfield HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Sutton Coldfield, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors

England's framework applies in Sutton Coldfield. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
