HMO licensing compliance, interlinked alarm rules and 5-yearly EICR — with 4+ tenants sharing amenities, every callout is a compressed access window.
Two questions dominate eicr — electrical safety checks enquiries from hmo landlords across Barry: what does the fixed price actually cover, and what does the certificate need to say so the solicitor or agent signs off first time?
We answer both at quote stage, on paper. No "we'll see on the day", no fictional starting price. If a variable is real for your Barry address, we survey it before quoting — not after invoicing.
Photos of the CU and meter, or a 15-minute visit — enough to write a fixed quote.
Priced to your HMO licence renewal, invoice routed to the landlord, no line-item surprises.
Same-week for standard scope, planned longer where the shutdown window or HMO logistics demand it.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence, and any Part P or licensing paperwork emailed the evening the job signs off.
HMO EICRs need extra attention around communal circuits, emergency lighting and heat detectors — we test to the licence brief, not the domestic one.
Barry sits inside our standard patch — we're regularly in Penarth and Cardiff on the same fixed-price model.
An EICR the local authority HMO officer accepts, interlinked smoke/heat certification, and emergency lighting sign-off where the layout demands it. All emailed the same evening the job signs off.
Yes — communal circuits, emergency lighting and BS 5839-6 Grade D interlinked alarms all covered in the same visit.
