Harrow has a high concentration of houses in multiple occupation, especially across HA1 and HA2, with plenty of shared and multi-generational homes in HA2 and HA3 as well. Licensed HMOs carry stricter electrical duties than a standard let, and an EICR sits right at the heart of them. We inspect and test shared houses across the borough so licence holders can prove the wiring is safe and up to standard.
A multi-let home works its electrics harder than a single-family house, with more sockets in use, more appliances and often years of added-to wiring. We work methodically through the whole installation, code each finding by urgency and set it all out in a formal report your licensing officer can accept. As a NAPIT-registered firm working to the 18th Edition, we can also carry out and certify any remedial work the report flags.

Your questions, answered
Is an EICR different for an HMO?
The inspection itself follows the same standard, but HMOs are held to it more strictly and often need the certificate current for the licence. We test to the same thorough standard whatever the property, and make sure the paperwork suits an HMO.
Do you check emergency lighting and alarms too?
We focus on the fixed electrical installation in the EICR. Where a licensed HMO needs emergency lighting or interlinked alarm work as well, we can advise on and carry that out, all to the current regulations.
How much disruption is there for tenants?
We need to turn off individual circuits while we test them, so there is some brief loss of power. We plan the visit to keep disruption to your tenants as short and predictable as we can.
