Electrical Rewiring for Shared HMO Properties

HMO properties often have higher electrical demands, with multiple occupants using lighting, sockets and appliances. Previous alterations may also leave a mix of older and newer wiring. We assess the entire property, including rooms and shared areas, before recommending suitable rewiring work.

Assess the Existing Installation

We review accessible wiring, circuits, sockets, switches and electrical equipment to identify outdated or unsuitable parts of the installation.

Consider Individual Rooms

We look at the electrical requirements of bedrooms and other occupied areas to help ensure the proposed installation reflects how the property is being used.

Review Communal Areas

Shared kitchens, hallways, entrances and other communal spaces are considered when assessing the overall electrical arrangement.

Plan for Occupancy

We take account of the electrical demand created by multiple occupants and the appliances commonly used throughout an HMO property.
