HMO fire doors in Solihull: how we work
We fit HMO fire doors and self-closers in Solihull and the rest of West Midlands. 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 Solihull or on its edges towards Shirley, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Cost of HMO fire doors in West Midlands
Guide prices for HMO fire doors in Solihull run from about £750 to £1,100 per door, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
