Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Servicing for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)

Supporting landlord compliance and resident safety in shared living environments

Fire Extinguisher Services Trusted by Houses in Multiple Occupation Landlords and Managing Agents

In Houses in Multiple Occupation, fire safety depends on systems that remain effective across communal spaces used daily by multiple residents. From shared entrance halls and staircases to communal kitchens, utility rooms and plant areas, fire extinguishers must be correctly maintained, clearly visible and immediately accessible to support safe evacuation and early intervention if a fire occurs.

Safe I.S. delivers structured fire extinguisher servicing designed specifically for Houses in Multiple Occupation, where increased occupancy, shared facilities and regular changes in tenancy elevate both risk and responsibility. Our BAFE SP101 accredited engineers carry out comprehensive, multi-point servicing checks, examining pressure levels, safety components, internal and external condition, mounting height, signage, accessibility and suitability for the risks present within each property.

Why Houses In Multiple Occupation Landlords And Managing Agents Rely On Safe I.S.

Houses in Multiple Occupation differ widely in layout and complexity, from converted period properties with narrow stairwells to purpose-built shared accommodation arranged over several floors with communal amenities. Occupancy levels can fluctuate, and escape routes are shared by residents with varying routines and levels of familiarity with the building. As a result, fire extinguisher servicing in Houses in Multiple Occupation must be practical, proportionate and aligned with how the property is actually used.

Our approach is based on real-world risk rather than assumptions, ensuring fire extinguishers are suitable for communal areas, appropriately positioned along escape routes and maintained to perform reliably if required.
