H.M.O.(HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION)

PROPERTY LICENCE COMPLIANCE TO

ALTHOUGH OUR CLIENTS ARE BOTH COMMERCIAL AND DOMESTIC, THE MAJORITY ARE LANDLORDS AND LETTING AGENTS WHO REQUIRE OUR SERVICES FOR THE UPGRADING OF H.M.O. PROPERTIES FOR FIRE REGULATIONS AND MORE RECENTLY TO COMPLY WITH THE LATEST "PROPERTY LICENCE" LEGISLATIONS.

PROPERTIES UNDER THIS CATEGORY NEED TO CONFORM TO STRICT FIRE PROTECTION REGULATIONS WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL INCLUDE A "GRADE A" FIRE ALARM SYSTEM WHICH WILL INCLUDE SMOKE/HEAT DETECTION THROUGHOUT THE PREMISES AND A CONTROL PANEL

DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL AUTHORITY FIRE EXTINGUISHERS OR FIRE BLANKETS MAY BE NEEDED.

TO PROTECT THE "MEANS OF ESCAPE" (COMMUNAL/STAIRS) A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CARPENTRY WORK NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN, WHICH WILL USUALLY INCLUDE THE FITTING OF FIRE DOORS WITH INTUMESCENT STRIPS AND A SELF CLOSER AND POSSIBLY SOME BUILDING WORK TO UPGRADE ANY PARTIONS TO HALF/ONE HOUR PROTECTION.
