How we handle HMO fire safety work in Nottinghamshire

We carry out HMO fire safety works in Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire rarely need the same measures.

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