Getting HMO fire doors right in Pudsey
Our HMO fire doors service covers Pudsey and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Pudsey range from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. 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 Pudsey, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Pudsey 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

Questions from Pudsey
Do you cover LS28 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pudsey including LS28, and nearby towns such as Bradford and Morley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Pudsey?
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 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.
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.
