HMO fire doors in Wigan: how we work
Getting HMO fire doors right in Wigan means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Wigan is about 17 miles from Manchester; we cover both, along with Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Westhoughton.
Fire door rules in Wigan
Because Wigan is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. 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.
Cost of HMO fire doors in Greater Manchester
Budget around £750 to £1,100 per door for HMO fire doors supplied and fitted in Wigan, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
