We are asked about in Aberdare most weeks, usually after something has changed at the property. HMO EICRs need extra attention around communal circuits, emergency lighting and heat detectors — we test to the licence brief, not the domestic one. The point of a proper test is that the result is repeatable by anyone else with the same instrument. Most Aberdare visits settle this within the first hour.
Access is part of the job here. Aberdare properties vary from open loft space to boarded conversions, and that changes how long a visit takes. Older installations around CF44 show this more often than newer ones. If a previous certificate exists, eicr — electrical safety checks for hmo landlords usually starts by checking whether it still reflects reality.
