Getting HMO fire doors right in Bromsgrove
If you need HMO fire doors in Bromsgrove, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Bromsgrove protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Bromsgrove HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Bromsgrove, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Fire door law for Bromsgrove properties
In Bromsgrove, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bromsgrove building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?

In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
