An HMO fire alarm is an interlinked system of smoke and heat detectors that sounds everywhere in the house when one detector triggers. For a house in Bridlington we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Bridlington?
Fire alarm and detection systems in Bridlington must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
