2 Storey terraced HMO

[uksparks]

Hi,

Just got a request to do a load of work on a property, its a HMO and the bloke says he wants..

Installation of of 7x Aico Smoke and 7x Aico Heat alarms interlinked on its own trip switch

I don't usually get involved with HMO's but would like a bit of guidance as to if a grade D LD2 system is ok or if a better system is required.

I have checked the Aico guidance and it suggests Grade D, LD2.

Presumably one on every escape route and main areas etc, i would have thought though that a HMO you wont want to be annoying the other neighbours within the building when you burn your toast...

Grade D Ld2 will be interlinked smokes in circulation areas, hall and landing plus heat detection in kitchen.......bit worried abaut your list of 7 smoke & 7 heats, that would be a manision, not a normal 2 story house. If its HMO Local BC will have provided the schedual for the licence.

Nail on the head, ensure the HMO dept from the local council have guided as to waht is actually required for them to sign it off!!

Do they want 1 x smoke and 1 x heat in every room within the house as well as landing /hall?
