HMO Fire Risk Assessment has been assisting landlords across the United Kingdom with safety regulations and compliance since 2015. The firm specialises in comprehensive fire safety evaluations specifically for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), ensuring full compliance and protection for properties throughout the UK. The company's team comprises certified engineers and assessors who are dedicated to providing professional certification services. The firm's operational model is built around understanding the challenges landlords encounter in meeting regulatory requirements, aiming to simplify the process of obtaining necessary certificates.

The company offers a range of professional landlord certification services across the UK, designed to address various regulatory needs. These services include the provision of Fire Risk Assessments, Gas Safety Certificates (CP12), and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR Certificates). Additionally, the firm provides Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) for up to 10 items. Beyond these core certifications, HMO Fire Risk Assessment also offers Fire Alarm Certificates and comprehensive support for HMO License Applications, alongside full HMO compliance packages.

HMO Fire Risk Assessment operates with a focus on the safety of tenants and properties. The company's certified engineers are responsible for delivering assessments and reports. A key aspect of the firm's service delivery is reliability, which includes offering same-day appointments and ensuring on-time service. The company's approach is designed to make the certification process straightforward for its clients, acknowledging the complexities landlords face.

All engineers working with the company hold the relevant qualifications and certifications required for their roles. The company maintains a specialisation in fire safety compliance for Houses in Multiple Occupation, recognising the stricter regulatory environment governing these types of properties. HMOs present elevated fire risks due to factors such as higher occupancy and diverse tenant behaviours, making robust fire safety measures critical. A fire risk assessment for an HMO is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, involving a detailed inspection to identify potential fire hazards, evaluate risks to tenants, and recommend safety measures.

The firm's assessors conduct thorough evaluations that encompass fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, fire doors, escape routes, signage, and firefighting equipment. This comprehensive process aims to determine the safety of a property and identify necessary improvements, ensuring landlords meet their duty of care and avoid enforcement action. Following an assessment, clients receive a detailed fire risk assessment report, which includes an action plan with practical recommendations, legal compliance notes, and prioritised steps to assist in reducing fire risks and meeting regulatory obligations. The company also offers ongoing support after the completion of assessments.

For client convenience, HMO Fire Risk Assessment provides auto email reminders for certificate renewals, sent 10 days prior to expiry. Furthermore, the firm facilitates instant support through live chat and WhatsApp messaging channels.
