What are landlords legally required to have?
In England, landlords must have at least one working smoke alarm on every storey of a rental property, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fuel-burning appliance such as a boiler or gas fire. We install to meet these requirements and can advise on the current regulations for your property.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
