With Brunel University on the doorstep, Uxbridge has a large stock of student houses and shared lets, especially around Cowley and the town centre. Many of these are houses in multiple occupation, which carry stricter electrical duties than a standard let, and an EICR sits right at the heart of them. We inspect and test shared and student houses across the area so licence holders can prove the wiring is safe.
A house full of students works its electrics hard, with more sockets in constant 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 out in a formal report your licensing officer will accept. As a NAPIT-registered firm working to the 18th Edition, we can also carry out and certify any remedial work the report flags.
Licence-ready reports
A formal EICR that supports your HMO licence application or renewal with Hillingdon Council.
Built for shared homes
We know multi-let and student wiring, from overloaded circuits to worn accessories, and test it properly.
Remedials certified
Anything that fails, we quote, fix and re-test, so the shared house is safe and fully documented.
Your questions, answered
Is my student house an HMO?
Broadly, a house shared by three or more tenants forming more than one household is usually an HMO, and larger ones need a licence. We test to the same thorough standard whatever the property, and set the report up to suit an HMO.
Can you test between tenancies?
Yes, and it is often the ideal time. We can book the EICR in during the summer changeover around the Brunel intake, so the certificate is current before new students move in.
Do you cover emergency lighting and alarms?
The EICR covers the fixed electrical installation. Where a licensed HMO also needs emergency lighting or interlinked alarm work, we can advise on and carry that out to the current regulations.
