An HMO fire door is a certified door set, usually rated FD30S, that holds back fire and smoke for about 30 minutes when closed. For a house in Antrim we start with a measured survey, check the NI HMO standards and licence conditions for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Antrim?
Here is what usually applies to a Antrim job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions have the final detail.
- Doors on protected routes are typically FD30 or FD30S, self-closing on three hinges; emergency lighting is required in HMOs of 4 or more storeys.
- A licence is needed where 3 or more people forming more than two households live as their main home and pay rent; the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council licenses for every council.
- Licences usually last 5 years, and landlords must also register with the NI landlord registration scheme.
