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 Camberley (GU15 and GU17) 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.
