HMO fire doors for Castleford buildings
When you book HMO fire doors in Castleford, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Castleford range from schools to houses with integral garages and small offices. 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 Castleford, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Castleford directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Castleford
In Castleford, 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 Castleford 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Castleford?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Castleford and the surrounding area, including Pontefract and Lofthouse. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Castleford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
