HMO fire doors for Shipley buildings
When you book HMO fire doors in Shipley, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Shipley, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Shipley directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Shipley 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
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
Fire door law for Shipley properties
England's framework applies in Shipley. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Shipley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Shipley need HMO fire doors?
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include shared houses, bedsit conversions and student lets. In Shipley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you cover BD18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Shipley including BD18, and nearby towns such as Bradford and Guiseley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Shipley building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
