HMO fire doors in Yeadon: what's involved
Our HMO fire doors service in Yeadon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Yeadon protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Yeadon, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Yeadon 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:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

Common questions
Do you cover LS19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Yeadon including LS19, and nearby towns such as Guiseley and Shipley. The survey and written quote are free.
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 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.
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.
