HMO fire safety works in Warwickshire: what we do

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

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

Fire stopping around pipes, cables, hatches and cupboards
Fire doors fitted with self-closers, seals and correct gaps
