HMO fire doors in Ossett, done to the evidence
From the WF5 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Ossett for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Ossett, family homes after loft conversions, small offices and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For HMO landlords in Ossett, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Ossett 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.
What you get:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
