HMO fire risk assessments in Shirebrook: what we do
Shared houses in Shirebrook need a fire risk assessment that reflects how the building is actually laid out. We assess the common parts and the escape route from every bedroom, then give you a written report with a prioritised action plan you can act on.
Councils and fire services covering Derbyshire commonly expect to see a current assessment, particularly at licence time. We review assessments for houses in Shirebrook after building work or changes in occupancy, and can price any works the action plan identifies.
