Fire Door Compliance for HMOs and Residential Blocks
Sentinel Projects works with HMO operators, managing agents and residential portfolios across Northampton, Cambridge, Oxford, London and the rest of the UK. We get your communal and flat entrance doors compliant before the licensing inspection or the next quarterly check. We are FireQual-qualified and BlueSky-certified.
Compliance before the deadline
HMO licensing and the fire regulations have both tightened, and the requirements have got specific. Flat entrance doors and communal doors that passed a few years ago often do not meet the current standard, and a failed licensing inspection can hold up a renewal or a let.
We come out, tell you exactly what needs doing to pass, and do the work before your deadline. No guesswork about what the inspector wants, and no scramble at the last minute.
What the rules now require
| Legislation | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Fire Safety Act 2021 | Flat entrance doors fall within the fire risk assessment |
| Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 | Quarterly checks of communal fire doors in buildings over 11m |
| HMO licensing conditions | Specific fire door standards as a condition of the licence |
The Responsible Person, often the operator or managing agent, holds the record-keeping duty and the liability.
