An HMO fire alarm is an interlinked system of smoke and heat detectors that sounds everywhere in the house when one detector triggers. Pyle is 13 miles south-east of Swansea. We price fire alarm and detection systems there against Wales’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

Which rules apply in Pyle?
Here is what usually applies to a Pyle job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Mandatory licence for HMOs with 3 or more storeys and 5 or more people in 2 or more households; Wales did not adopt England’s 2018 change.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
