HMO fire doors in Accrington: questions

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Accrington.

Can you fit just one door in Accrington?

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

Can you work around tenants or staff in Accrington?

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 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.
