Getting HMO fire doors right in Morley
From the LS27 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Morley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Morley has a broad mix of buildings, including high-street shops, houses with integral garages and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Morley, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Morley directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
The regulations behind fire doors in Morley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Morley 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 Morley 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.

Questions
Do you work in Morley?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Morley and the surrounding area, including Batley and Dewsbury. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
