Fire Door Compliance Is A Legal Duty, Not An Optional Extra
If you're a landlord, letting agent, or you manage a house in multiple occupation, keeping fire doors in proper working order isn't something to leave until it's convenient. Fire doors are a core part of a building's escape route, and under UK fire safety law the person responsible for a property has a duty to make sure they're fitted, maintained and checked properly.
For HMOs, this is often written directly into the licence conditions set by the local council. A fire door that's damaged, badly fitted, or missing its seals and closer can fail exactly when it's needed most.
Get your fire doors checked, fixed or fitted properly, and know exactly where you stand.

Fire Door Compliance, Answered
How do I know if my fire door needs repairing or replacing?
Common signs include gaps around the edge of the door, a closer that doesn't pull the door fully shut, damaged or missing seals, or a door with no visible certification label. If you're not sure, TK Carpentry Ltd can take a look and tell you plainly what needs doing.
What is an FD30 fire door?
FD30 means a fire door is designed and certified to hold back fire for a minimum of 30 minutes, giving people longer to escape and slowing the spread of fire and smoke through a building.
Do landlords legally have to keep fire doors compliant?
Landlords and those responsible for a building's fire safety have a legal duty to keep fire doors fitted and maintained correctly, and this is often written directly into HMO licence conditions. Requirements vary by property type, but TK Carpentry Ltd can fit or repair whatever's needed to bring your fire doors up to standard.
