How much does it cost to install fire doors in an apartment block or HMO property?
Cost to Install Fire Doors in Flats & HMOs
The cost to install fire doors in an apartment block or HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) property typically ranges from £450 to £900 per door. This depends on door rating (FD30 or FD60), hardware requirements, the number of doors, and the complexity of installation. Landlords are legally required to ensure fire doors are fitted in communal areas and, in many cases, individual units.
Fire doors must be fitted with appropriate closers, intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges, latches, and certified fire-rated components. They should also meet BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634 standards. Proper installation by a competent contractor is essential, as poorly fitted doors will not offer the necessary protection during a fire emergency.
