Fire Doors in Oxford

Oxford's HMO licensing scheme is among the strictest in the UK, requiring all qualifying properties — regardless of size — to be licensed. This is partly a response to the high concentration of student lets in the city. All licensed HMOs must have FD30 fire doors at bedroom and habitable room entrances, with intumescent and smoke seals fitted to manufacturer specification.

We deliver pallet-loads of fire doors to Oxford on a 2–3 week lead time from order confirmation. Delivery is £140 flat-rate to mainland UK postcodes, including all of Oxford and the surrounding region. Larger orders can sometimes ship faster; ask when you request a quote.

Yes — we offer full supply-and-install across Oxford and the wider Oxfordshire. Installations are carried out by FIRAS and BM TRADA certified fitters working to BS 8214, with the correct intumescent strips, smoke seals, gaps, and matched ironmongery for the door's fire test evidence. Fitting a fire door incorrectly voids its certification, so we never sub-contract to non-certified trades.

Listed building consent is required to alter doors visible externally on listed buildings, but internal fire safety standards still apply. For grade II and grade II* listed properties in central Oxford that operate as HMOs, internal fire doors typically must meet FD30 standards even where external aesthetics are protected. Some narrow exemptions exist for grade I listed buildings — these are determined case by case with the local conservation officer and Historic England.
