HMO electrical works keep the wiring in a shared house safe and certificated. Landlords in Lincoln (LN2, LN4 and LN6) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. Lincoln has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
