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 Fleet (GU13, GU51 and GU52) 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.

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.

Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Fleet?
