HMO fire compliance in Galleywood
Every Galleywood HMO quote we issue includes the fire-rating certificate for the specified material. Filed by the landlord with the licence renewal — one less thing to chase before the annual inspection.

Shared Houses & HMOs in Galleywood — questions
- How do I protect the HMO Galleywood floor between tenancies?

- 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 Galleywood?
- 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 Galleywood HMO fit schedule.

HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Galleywood — landlord ROI, tenant durability, licence compliance
Own crew, commercial-grade wear, fire-certified.
A Galleywood 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.
