What we are usually called out to in Haringey
Haringey splits in two. Wood Green is retail, from the shopping centre down to the parades along the High Road. Tottenham is light manufacturing and storage. Running through both, N15 and N17 hold one of the densest concentrations of houses in multiple occupation anywhere in North London, and Tottenham Green sits in the middle of that with civic and community buildings among the housing.
Around fifteen minutes south of Southgate, and we are through N22 most weeks.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Getting the HMO grade right the first time
A licensable HMO is specified against BS 5839-6, and the two things landlords get wrong are the grade and the category. Grade A means a system with a control panel, mains-powered detection and a standby supply, which is what most licensable HMOs need. Grade D means interlinked mains detectors with no panel, which is cheaper and frequently what gets installed instead. Discovering the difference during a council licensing inspection is expensive, because the work is done twice and the licence waits.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for the building — usually the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent — has to make sure a fire risk assessment is carried out and the fire precautions are kept working. Getting the design wrong is not just a technical problem, it is that duty left unmet.

Fire safety in Haringey: your questions
What system does a licensable HMO in Haringey need?
Most licensable HMOs need a Grade A system under BS 5839-6, meaning a panel, mains-powered detection and a standby supply. The exact category depends on the layout and the escape route, so it is decided at survey. We give you the specification in writing so you can show it to the council.
Can you take over an existing system in Haringey?
Yes, and the audit is free. We inspect what is installed, tell you in writing whether it matches the building and the standard, and quote to take over the servicing. There is no gap in your cover while you switch. In Haringey that audit usually starts with whether the grade and category will survive a licensing inspection.
How often does a commercial fire alarm have to be serviced?
BS 5839-1 recommends inspection and servicing by a competent person at least every six months. That does not change with the postcode. What changes is what the engineer should be looking at, which is why we survey the building rather than working from a checklist.
