Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
