HMO fire doors in Stevenage: how we work
We fit HMO fire doors and self-closers in Stevenage and the rest of Hertfordshire. 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.
We cover SG1 and the surrounding area, including Hitchin. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Which rules apply in Stevenage?
Because Stevenage 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.
What do HMO fire doors cost in Stevenage?
Budget around £750 to £1,100 per door for HMO fire doors supplied and fitted in Stevenage, 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.

Common questions in Hertfordshire
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Stevenage.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Stevenage?
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.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Stevenage?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
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.
