Getting HMO fire doors fitted in Exmouth

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

HMO fire doors in Exmouth: questions

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Exmouth?

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

Which rules do HMO fire doors in Exmouth need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

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