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 Paisley (PA1, PA2, PA3 and PA5) 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. Paisley has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Paisley?
Here is what usually applies to a Paisley job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
- Every HMO needs a council licence: 3 or more people who are not all from one or two families, sharing basic amenities. Licences last up to 3 years.
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
- Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
