HMO fire doors in Exeter

Getting HMO fire doors fitted in Exeter

For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Exeter, we provide HMO fire doors and self-closers with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.

Where possible we combine Exeter surveys with other visits in Devon, such as Heavitree and Exmouth, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Common questions in Devon

Can you fit just one door in Exeter?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Devon.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Exeter?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Do you cover Exeter?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors throughout Exeter and the rest of Devon, including EX4 and nearby Heavitree.

Do HMO fire doors need intumescent strips and smoke seals?

Fire doors always have intumescent seals. Some councils also require smoke seals in HMOs; your licence conditions will say.
