Water mist fire suppression for HMOs

Houses in multiple occupation carry a higher fire risk and tighter licensing obligations. High-pressure water mist gives your tenants fast, certified protection — and retrofits into an occupied HMO with minimal disruption and no water tank.

WHY HMOs CHOOSE MIST

Protection that suits shared living

Multiple tenants, shared escape routes and older building stock make HMOs a priority for suppression. Water mist fits all three.

Protects every tenant

Fast-acting mist controls a fire at its source, buying vital time for everyone in a shared property to get out safely.

Easy to retrofit

Slim, mains-fed pipework installs into an occupied HMO with far less mess and disruption than a sprinkler system.

No tank, no lost room

Running off the mains means no bulky storage tank eating into a let-able bedroom or shared space.

Helps with licensing

A certified suppression system supports the fire safety case for your HMO licence and reassures your tenants.

COMPLIANCE

Built around HMO fire safety

Our systems are designed to BS 8458, the British Standard for domestic and residential water mist. A certified system strengthens the fire safety case behind your HMO licence and gives your local authority and tenants confidence in the property.

Where your building also needs a building warrant — for example after a conversion or change of use — we provide the design and certification your building control officer will expect.
