HMO fire doors: our service in Leeds
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Leeds, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Leeds range from shared houses to care homes and hotels. 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 Leeds, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Leeds 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.
On a typical job that means:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Leeds
In Leeds, 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 Leeds 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 from Leeds
Is Leeds within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Leeds in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Morley. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Leeds?
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.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
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.
