For landlords with a council deadline
Our HMO fire door remedial works in London clear every fire door action on a council notice, inspection report or licence condition. We plan back from your deadline, fix everything in as few visits as possible, and send you proof to forward to the council.
Remedial works in shared houses
After a licence visit or inspection, councils often send a list of fire door faults to fix by a set date. It may be part of a licence condition or a formal notice.
HMO fire door remedial works deal with the whole list in one plan. Repairs, new doors, signs and closers are all booked together.
Calling a handyman for one item and a joiner for another takes time, and things get missed. Councils want to see every item closed, with proof.
We price every action, plan the visits and send you one closed-out list at the end. You forward it to the housing officer, and the job is done.
Have door actions on other buildings as well? Our fire door remedial works in London clear them in any property.
Once the list is cleared, HMO fire door inspections every six months help stop a new one building up.
What we close out
Council lists for HMOs tend to repeat the same items. We cover all of them.
Self-closers added to bedroom and kitchen doors where the council asks for them.
Non-fire doors swapped for FD30 doorsets.
Intumescent and smoke seals fitted to doors and frames that have none.
Keyed locks swapped for thumb-turns, so tenants can get out fast.
Plain glass in fire doors replaced.
Keep shut signs on every fire door the council lists.
How it works

Your proof
Every action on the council’s list is matched to a line on ours. Each one shows what was done, when and with what.
Why lists stall
Many landlords start fixing their list but run out of time. These are the usual reasons.
Tenants not given notice, so rooms are missed and visits wasted.
New doors ordered too late.
A handyman, a joiner and a locksmith all booked separately, each waiting on the others.
Work done but not photographed.
Repairs made with non-rated parts, which the council then rejects.
Work started a week before the deadline.
Pricing
Each action is priced on its own, so you can see where the money goes. Most HMO lists are a mix of repairs and one or two new doors.

What landlords ask when the council sends a list of fire door actions.
It depends on the list. A typical repair costs £150–£450 per door, and a new FD30 door costs £550–£950. Most HMO lists are a mix of both. We price every action separately, so you can see exactly where the money goes.
The council may take further action, such as a fine or enforcement notice. In serious cases, it could affect your licence. If you are struggling to meet a deadline, contact the council early and show them your plan. Showing steady progress often helps.
Often, yes. We look at the list, check which items need new doors or parts, and plan visits back from the date. Send us the notice as soon as you get it, as new doors can take time to arrive.
We send it to you, so you can forward it. The closed-out list matches the council’s actions line by line, with photos and dates. This makes it easy for the housing officer to check. We can also answer questions from the housing officer if needed.
Repairs fix one or two faults. Remedial works close out every action on a report or notice, often including new doors, closers and signs. They come with a plan and a closed-out list at the end. Remedial works are the right choice when you have a list to clear by a set date.
It depends on your council and the layout of the house. Many councils expect closers on doors to the escape route, especially kitchens. Follow your licence conditions or the council’s list. If you are not sure, we can check the doors against your licence and tell you what is likely to be needed. That avoids fitting closers where they are not required.
Yes. We send notice to tenants and arrange access with you. If a room is missed, we note it and rebook, so nothing is left off the list. Tenants are told what we will do in their room and how long it will take. Most visits are short, so they can carry on with their day.
If the deadline allows, urgent items can be done first and the rest planned over time. A risk assessment can help you decide which items come first. Talk to the council if you need more time, and show them your plan. Items on the escape route should always be done first.
Sometimes an item on the list does not match what is on site. We note it with photos, so you can raise it with the council. We do not ignore any item without telling you. You can then raise it with the council before the deadline.
Regular inspections and servicing catch faults before the council does. Many landlords book an inspection every six months, with repairs done straight after. Tenant guidance also helps, as many faults are caused by tenants removing closers or adding locks. Keep your records up to date, so you can show the council your routine.
