Property Maintenance & Compliance for London Landlords
One accountable contractor for everything your rented property needs to stay safe, legal and lettable — fire safety and HMO compliance, interlinked alarms, EICR remedials, repairs and full refurbishment, all documented for your file.
The Landlord Compliance Burden, Carried for You
The legal duties on a London landlord have multiplied. Miss one and the penalties are real — unlimited fines under the Fire Safety Order, rent repayment orders for unlicensed HMOs, £5,000 per alarm breach. We close every gap and hand you the evidence that you did.
Fire Safety Order Duties
As the "responsible person" under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 you are accountable for fire safety in common parts — and since the Fire Safety Act 2021 that explicitly covers structure, external walls and flat entrance doors. We action the remedial works your fire risk assessment lists and document each one.
HMO Licensing Standards
Mandatory, additional and selective licensing schemes vary borough by borough across London. Room sizes, fire separation, escape routes and amenities all have to meet your council’s published conditions. We bring properties up to the standard that actually applies to your postcode.
Smoke & CO Alarm Regulations 2022
The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 require a smoke alarm on every storey and a CO alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance, working at the start of each tenancy. Breaches are fined up to £5,000. We install and certificate interlinked Grade D1 systems.
EICR & Gas Remedials
Electrical Installation Condition Reports are mandatory every five years, and any C1, C2 or FI code has to be remedied within 28 days. We carry out the electrical and gas-related remedial works your inspection flags and return the certification for your tenancy file.
One Contractor for Refurbishment and Compliance
The expensive way to run a rental is to manage a different trade for every problem. The fire risk assessor finds the defects but does not fix them; the electrician will not touch the fire doors; the builder does not do alarms. We bring all of it under one contract.
That means works are sequenced once, priced once, and handed over once — with a single documented pack that satisfies the fire authority, the council’s HMO officer and your insurer at the same time.
- Fixed, itemised quotations after a free survey — no provisional sums hiding the real cost
- A single project manager as your point of contact across every property
- Photographic before-and-after records against each compliance item
- £5 million public liability cover and a written workmanship guarantee
- Works planned around tenants with proper notice given through you or your agent

Landlord FAQs
Can one contractor really handle both my refurbishment and my compliance?
Yes — that is the point of using us. Most landlords juggle a fire risk assessor, an electrician, a gas engineer, a fire door fitter and a separate builder. We bring those trades under one contract and one project manager, so your refurbishment and your fire safety, HMO and alarm works are sequenced together and handed over in a single documented pack.
How quickly can you turn a property around between tenancies?
A standard void refresh — redecoration, making good, compliance checks and minor repairs — typically takes three to seven working days once we are on site. We price the void schedule in advance and work to your re-let date, so the property is back on the market and earning as fast as possible.
Do you understand the difference between mandatory, additional and selective licensing?
We work to your specific borough’s scheme rather than a generic checklist. Before quoting we review the council’s published HMO standards and your draft or existing licence conditions, then survey the property against them item by item so the licence is granted first time.
What documentation do I get for my tenancy file?
Every job closes with a handover pack: annotated action plan, dated before-and-after photographs of each completed item, product certification for fire-stopping materials and doorsets, and electrical certificates to BS 7671 where circuits were touched. It is exactly what councils, insurers and a future buyer ask to see.
