Our HMO fire safety service in Louth

Typical jobs in Louth include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Lincolnshire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.

What landlords in Louth ask us

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Louth?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Does a converted HMO in Louth need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. East Lindsey District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Louth?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Louth?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.
