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 South Croydon (CR0, CR7 and CR8) 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.
