esito.engine for HMOs · fire alarm compliance
HMO Fire alarm testing.
Done, chased, evidenced.
HMO landlords must evidence a weekly alarm test and a 6-monthly engineer service under BS 5839. In practice the weekly test gets left to tenants and rarely happens. esito prompts your tenants, chases the misses, signals faults, and builds the audit pack.
From £4/per month per tenant - Online sign up. Works with your own engineer.

The problem
The test that never happens
Every HMO landlord knows it. The requirement exists. The evidence doesn't.
01
Delegated to tenants, followed up by nobody
The weekly (or monthly*) test lands in an email box, which tenant was asked, which zone needed testing? No prompt, no chase, no record.
*Grade A or D alarm dependent
02
No Evidence when it matters
Licence renewal, the new PRS database, insurance claims. All of them ask for the trail you don't have.
03
Spreadsheets, memory and email folders
12 to 52 tests a year*, per HMO. Multiplied by your portfolio. Kept in a file or folder nobody checks until something goes wrong.
*Grade A or D alarm dependent
How it works
Set it up in minutes. Then it just runs.
Step 1
Add your HMO's

Step 2
The engine schedules
Weekly or monthly user tests and 6-monthly services, cadence matched to your BS 5839 system grade.
Step 3
Tenants confirm with evidence
