Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Nuneaton we start by measuring every room and checking Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
We cover CV11 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Nuneaton as anywhere else in Warwickshire.

HMO fire safety works in Nuneaton: what we do
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Nuneaton 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 Nuneaton rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Nuneaton 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.
