For HMO landlords and managing agents
Our HMO fire door compliance in London keeps every door in your shared houses checked, fixed and recorded all year round. When the council asks for proof, you send one pack and you are done.
Compliance in shared houses
An HMO can pass a licence visit one month and fail the next. Tenants move in and out, closers get removed and new locks get fitted.
HMO fire door compliance is about keeping on top of that churn. Regular checks, quick fixes and clear records mean the doors are right whenever the council looks.
We set a yearly plan for each house: inspections, servicing between tenancies and reminders to tenants. Repairs found on a visit are fixed straight away.
Every visit is added to a licence pack. When the council or a buyer asks for proof, you have it in one place.
Want one plan for all your buildings, not just shared houses? Our fire door compliance in London can manage the whole portfolio.

These are the gaps we see most when landlords manage compliance on their own.
Busy landlords miss inspection dates, then rush before a council visit.
Closers and locks changed between visits.
Work done but never recorded, so there is nothing to show the council.
Faults found but not fixed.
Each house on its own system, making it hard to see where problems are.
Conditions not checked against doors.

What HMO landlords and agents ask about staying compliant.
A yearly compliance plan usually costs £400–£900 per house, before VAT. Inspection visits are around £300–£600 each. Repairs are priced when found and only done with your approval. Putting several houses on one plan lowers the cost per house. You get a fixed yearly price before the plan starts.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers the shared parts of an HMO. Your council will also set licence conditions, often based on the LACORS guide. Together, they usually require fire doors on escape routes, often with closers, kept in good order. Our HMO fire door requirements guide sets them out room by room.
Many landlords check every six months, plus at each change of tenant. Your licence conditions or fire risk assessment may set a different interval, so check those first. Houses with high tenant turnover may benefit from more frequent checks, as each change is a chance for something to go wrong.
Usually your fire risk assessment, recent fire door checks and proof of any repairs. Some councils also ask for door details or certificates. A licence pack keeps all of this in one place. Councils may also ask for these when you renew your licence.
It puts the house out of compliance. Regular checks catch this quickly, and we refit closers on the visit. Tenant guidance helps stop it happening again. If it keeps happening in the same room, we can fit a closer that is easier to open. We also note it on the record, in case the council asks.
Yes. Every house goes on one plan, with its own pack. You get one contact and one view of where every house stands. Each house follows the same routine, so it is easy to compare them. You can see at a glance which houses need attention and when visits are due.
No. We focus on the doors. We can work alongside your fire risk assessor and feed our records into their review. If you need one, your assessor should do that first. Our records then give them clear evidence on every door, which makes their next review quicker.
We look at the council’s list, price every action and plan the work back from the deadline. Once cleared, the house goes back onto the normal plan. We also look at why the faults happened, so they are less likely to come back.
Yes. Buyers and their surveyors often ask about fire doors. A full licence pack shows the doors have been looked after, which can make the sale smoother. It may also help if the house is sold as a going concern, as the buyer can carry on with the same plan.
Yes. We send reminders before each visit and a summary of what has been done. You always know where each house stands. Agents can also share this with landlords, so everyone has the same view. Nothing is booked without your say-so, and you can change dates if needed.
