HMO fire doors: our service in Guiseley
We provide HMO fire doors in Guiseley (LS20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Guiseley range from care homes to light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages. 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 Guiseley, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Guiseley directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
Rules and responsibilities in Guiseley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Guiseley 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 Guiseley 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.
Who needs HMO fire doors in Guiseley?
From converted period houses to shared houses, the requirement for HMO fire doors in Guiseley comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover LS20 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Guiseley including LS20, and nearby towns such as Yeadon and Shipley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Guiseley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
