HMO electrical works keep the wiring in a shared house safe and certificated. Middlesbrough is 31 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne. We price rewires and EICR remedials there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Middlesbrough, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Questions about rewires and EICR remedials in Middlesbrough
Is a full rewire disruptive?
Yes. It means lifting floorboards and chasing walls, so it is best done in an empty house or room by room during voids.
Do you cover all of Middlesbrough?
Yes. We work across Middlesbrough and the TS1, TS2, TS4 and TS23 postcode areas, plus the rest of North Yorkshire. Nearby places we also cover include Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, Thornaby-on-Tees.
Does a shared house in Middlesbrough need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
