HMO electrical works keep the wiring in a shared house safe and certificated. For a house in Burnley we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. With students as well as working sharers renting in Burnley, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
