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 Ayr, a town of around 45,000 people, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Scotland and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Ayr?
Fire doors in Ayr must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- 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.
- Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
