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 Cleckheaton (BD11, BD19 and WF15) 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.
