Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

HMO fire doors in County Durham: questions

Yes. We survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors across County Durham, including Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees.

Usually the doors opening onto the escape route — bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms — but not bathrooms in most layouts. Your licensing conditions and risk assessment set the list.
