Prittlewell Shared-House Engineered Wood Flooring: Landlord Fit
HMOs in Prittlewell put the hardest residential wear pattern on a floor of any category — multiple tenants, multiple visitors, mismatched routines, no shared care for the fabric of the building. On Prittlewell HMO jobs we spec Engineered Wood Flooring to commercial-grade Class 33 wear, sealed edges throughout, and Class B fire-rated where the SS2 licence demands.
Class B fire rating and Prittlewell HMO Engineered Wood Flooring
Most Prittlewell HMO licences (issued by the Southend-on-Sea 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 Prittlewell HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
