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 Grimsby, a town of around 85,000 people in Lincolnshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Grimsby, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
