We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

HMO fire safety works for Evesham landlords
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Evesham 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 Evesham rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Evesham include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Worcestershire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.
