Questions about rewires and EICR remedials in Stirling
How often does an HMO need an EICR?
At least every five years in England, Wales and Scotland, and HMO licence conditions in Northern Ireland ask for the same. Your licence may set extra conditions. Our HMO rules pages for each nation give the details.
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 carry out rewires and EICR remedials across Stirling?
Yes, across the whole of Stirling, including Stirling.
Who licenses HMOs in Stirling?
Stirling council licenses HMOs in its area. Every HMO in Scotland needs a licence.
