HMO fire doors in Christchurch

HMO fire doors in Christchurch: how we work

We fit HMO fire doors and self-closers in Christchurch and the rest of Dorset. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

Whether your building is in central Christchurch or on its edges towards Bournemouth, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Which rules apply in Christchurch?

In Christchurch, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

HMO fire doors in Christchurch: questions

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

What does a Christchurch quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Which rules do HMO fire doors in Christchurch 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.

Do all HMO doors need to be fire doors?

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.
