HMO fire safety works in Hucknall: what we do

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

Typical jobs in Hucknall 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.

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.
