Watford has a large stock of shared and multi-let housing, especially around Watford Junction, the town centre and the St Albans Road area, where family houses have often been split into flats and shared lets to meet demand from commuters and young professionals. 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 right across Watford 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 constant use, more appliances and often years of added-to wiring passed from one tenant to the next. We work methodically through the whole installation, code each finding by urgency and set it all out in a formal report Watford Borough Council's licensing team 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 in Watford?
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 cover the shared houses around Watford Junction?
Yes. That area has some of the town's densest multi-let housing, and we test it regularly, so we know the wiring quirks that come with houses split into flats and bedsits over the years.
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.
