An HMO fire door is a certified door set, usually rated FD30S, that holds back fire and smoke for about 30 minutes when closed. Landlords in Milton Keynes (MK1, MK6, MK8 and MK9) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. Milton Keynes has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
