An HMO fire alarm is an interlinked system of smoke and heat detectors that sounds everywhere in the house when one detector triggers. Landlords in Bentley (DN1, DN5 and DN55) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Which rules apply in Bentley?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Bentley before we price.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
