An HMO fire door is a certified door set, usually rated FD30S, that holds back fire and smoke for about 30 minutes when closed. In Fulham, a town of around 85,000 people in Greater London, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Can I just add strips to an old door?
Only if the door itself is capable of the rating, which most standard internal doors are not. A certified door set is usually the reliable route.
Which postcodes in Fulham do you work in?
All of them, including SW6, and the surrounding parts of Greater London.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Fulham?
With the local council for the address. Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
