HMO Plumbing and Heating Engineers

As an owner or prospective owner of an HMO (House of Multiple Occupation), having a dedicated plumber may seem a little excessive,however, we believe that there are some very valid reasons why you should….

 

  1. Advice, Guidance and Experience

Bradley Plumbing and Heating Engineers like all professionals spend years learning and honing their craft. There isn’t much that they haven’t seen and repaired or replaced; and they have (like other professions) strict rules and regulations, certifications and requirements to adhere to.

What sets a Plumbing & Heating Engineer that has worked on an HMO apart will be the understanding of the urgency and difference it makes to a landlord to get any problems or issues rectified ASAP. They are on hand for you to call and ask advice or to gain guidance with any issues that arise, meaning that you can solve them before they become a problem.

Having a Plumbing and Heating Engineer with HMO experience on retainer means that you never have to worry that you will end up with a dispute about the standard of care you provide your tenants nor will you have to take matters into your own hands to put a temporary fix in place, should there be no-one available to assist you in the event of an emergency.

 

  1. When it comes to fixtures and fittings, rules and regulations – your HMO plumber knows best.

What a Plumbing & Heating Engineer with experience of working on HMOs will bring is knowledge and understanding of the rules and regulations and experience gained in maintaining HMO properties.

Although each Local Authority will have its own HMO standards that will need to be followed (and a landlord should know these) there is a common theme on how much room is required in a bathroom/kitchen and what fixtures and fittings should be fitted, and how they should be maintained, depending on how many tenants there are.

There is also peace of mind knowing that they will help you stay on the right side of the law by undertaking maintenance, testing and inspection of your plumbing and heating system to ensure that you have a safe, effective and efficient systems along with providing you with the right documentation for both yourself and your tenants.

A HMO Plumbing and Heating Engineer will also be able to provide advice on and supply the correct Carbon Monoxide detectors. Again, each Local Authority has its own requirements, however, it is recommended even if you don’t have a solid fuel fire in where there is sleeping accommodation, to have one fitted as a matter of safety and precaution.

 

  1. Recommendations

Not only will your Plumbing and Heating Engineer be able to recommend showers or heating systems that will cope with the different demands of your tenants within your HMO, a good one will come highly recommended.

    Trustworthy, reliable, friendly and brilliant at what they do…

    We have used Bradley Plumbing for many years within the Sheffield Methodist Circuit and they are very good. They have provided us with gas inspections, installations, callouts, service and repairs on gas, heating and plumbing issues plus bath installations. No job is too small or too big for them. Their response and customer service are excellent and they are great to work with.  I would definitely recommend them.

  • What Our Clients Say

    As a private landlord I always need reliable trades who I can trust to carry out work for me when needed, as I don’t always see the end result of the work it the property already has a tenant in place.

    Since I’ve been using Steve and the team at Bradley Plumbing and Heating, I have never looked back. Weather its just been a Gas Safe check or a full heating system I’ve always been given honest advice on the best way forward. The solution has always been completed on time and within the price or budget given before the work commenced.

    Steve and his apprentice, Jason, recently installed a full central heating system at my home. I was very pleased with his workmanship and principals - honest, trustworthy and reliable. They completed the work on time and in budget, I would highly recommend them - everything from initial consultation to completion of works was excellent. Great people, great company.
