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 Aberystwyth (SY23) 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. Aberystwyth has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
