Our HMO fire safety service in Matlock
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Matlock to a written specification taken from the fire risk assessment and the local council's HMO standards. That keeps the work proportionate, because a small two-storey house and a large three-storey one in Matlock rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Matlock include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Derbyshire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.
