Multi-Occupancy Property Engineered Wood Flooring in Brighton Central
In Brighton Central we work with a lot of HMO landlords running 3–8 bed shared houses off A23 / A270. The flooring brief is: survive 12+ months of student- or professional-share use between fits, clean up in one day between tenants, and photograph well for the next room advert.
Class B fire rating and Brighton Central HMO Engineered Wood Flooring
Most Brighton Central HMO licences (issued by the Brighton council) specify Class B or better fire rating on communal and escape-route flooring. We spec Class B-rated LVT or wood ranges as default on Brighton Central HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
Wear grade for Brighton Central HMO tenant turnover
For Brighton Central premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent BN1 properties) we can spec commercial-grade engineered oak with Bona Traffic HD — same wear grade, warmer aesthetic. Costs 40% more, and worth it for premium rents.

Shared Houses & HMOs in Brighton Central — questions
- How do I protect the HMO Brighton Central floor between tenancies?
- Silicone perimeter (no scotia to trap hair and dirt), commercial-grade wear layer, and a between-tenant cleaning protocol — pH-neutral cleaner, mop-and-dry only. We provide the protocol in the handover pack.

- 10-year workmanship warranty (same as owner-occupied), plus manufacturer wear warranty (typically 20-year residential / 5-year commercial for LVT). Fire-rating certificate provided separately for licence purposes.
- What fire rating do I need on my Brighton Central HMO floor?
- Class B minimum for most Brighton Central HMO licences, Class Bfl-s1 for escape routes. Our default HMO spec is Class B-rated, with the certificate included in the quote pack for licence filing.

- Yes — 1-day turnovers for individual bedrooms, 2-day for bedroom + en-suite. Priced separately from full fit-outs. Same-crew for all rooms across a portfolio.
- Can we schedule around tenants still in residence in Brighton Central?
- Yes — communal areas fit while bedrooms stay occupied, or individual room fits while shared spaces stay intact. Tenant courtesy notice handled as part of the Brighton Central HMO fit schedule.

- Typical 6-bed Brighton Central HMO (110–140m²) in commercial-grade LVT with fire certificate: £4,800–£7,600 fitted. In premium engineered oak: £8,400–£12,900. Both include licence-ready paperwork.
HMO Engineered Wood Flooring in Brighton Central — landlord ROI, tenant durability, licence compliance
Own crew, commercial-grade wear, fire-certified.
A Brighton Central HMO floor that ignores fire rating risks the licence; one that ignores commercial-grade wear needs replacing in 24 months. We spec both by default.
