We’re just nearing completion of a brand-new addressable fire alarm system in a multi-tenanted HMO property in Paulsgrove, near Portsmouth. This project is a great example of how investing in the right fire safety measures is not just about meeting regulations — it’s about protecting lives, property, and peace of mind.
Why Fire Safety Compliance Matters in HMOs
Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are subject to stricter fire safety requirements than single-family homes. With multiple households under one roof, the risks — and responsibilities — are greater. A compliant, well-designed fire alarm system ensures:
- Early detection – giving occupants maximum time to evacuate safely.
- Accurate location identification – with addressable systems, the exact location of a triggered detector is displayed, allowing swift action.
- Legal compliance – meeting the standards set out in The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HMO licensing conditions.
- Protection of assets – minimising fire damage and disruption for landlords and managing agents.
