An HMO in Wigston has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We cover LE18 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Wigston as anywhere else in Leicestershire.

How we handle HMO fire risk assessment work in Wigston
Shared houses in Wigston 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 Leicestershire commonly expect to see a current assessment, particularly at licence time. We review assessments for houses in Wigston after building work or changes in occupancy, and can price any works the action plan identifies.
