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 Wakefield (WF1, WF2 and WF3) 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. Wakefield has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Questions about fire doors in Wakefield
Can I just add strips to an old door?
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.

Yes. We work across Wakefield and the WF1, WF2 and WF3 postcode areas, plus the rest of West Yorkshire. Nearby places we also cover include Lofthouse, Ossett, Dewsbury.
Does a shared house in Wakefield need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
