HMO fire doors for Wednesbury buildings
Our HMO fire doors service covers Wednesbury and the wider West Midlands area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Wednesbury range from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Wednesbury, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Wednesbury 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.
Each installation includes:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Which fire door rules apply in Wednesbury?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wednesbury are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Wednesbury block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
