HMO electrical works keep the wiring in a shared house safe and certificated. Stafford is 14 miles south of Stoke-on-Trent. 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. Stafford has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
