Getting HMO fire doors fitted in Washington
We fit HMO fire doors and self-closers in Washington and the rest of Tyne and Wear. 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.
Washington is about 6 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Wherever your building is in NE38, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

HMO fire doors in Washington: questions
Can you fit just one door in Washington?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Tyne and Wear.
Which rules do HMO fire doors in Washington 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.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Washington?
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 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.
