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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
