What certificates does an HMO need?

Usually a gas safety certificate, an EICR and a fire risk assessment. You also need records of fire alarm and emergency lighting tests. Your council may ask for more as part of your licence.

How often do HMO safety checks need doing?

Gas safety every 12 months and an EICR at least every 5 years. Review the fire risk assessment yearly and test the fire alarm regularly.

Can you do all the HMO checks in one visit?

Often, yes. We book the checks together where we can, so your tenants only need to let us in once.

How much do HMO safety checks cost?

It depends on the size of the house, the number of rooms and which checks you need. Call 07898 232710 or use our online quote calculator for a clear price.

Do I need to be there for the checks?

No. We can collect keys from your agent and arrange a time with your tenants.

What happens if my HMO fails a check?

We explain what failed and give you a clear price to fix it. Once it is fixed, you get updated paperwork.

Gas Safe registered
engineers

One team does the gas safety certificate, EICR, fire risk assessment, emergency lighting and fire alarm checks.

Shared houses have more tenants, more appliances and more fire risks than a family let. We work with HMO landlords across Luton and Dunstable. We can collect keys from your agent and arrange access with tenants.

What Checks Does an HMO Need?

Most HMOs need a gas safety certificate every 12 months and an EICR at least every 5 years. The shared parts must also have a fire risk assessment.

The fire alarm needs regular tests, and so does emergency lighting where it is fitted. Keep a record of each test so you can show it when asked.

One Team for Every Certificate

Our Gas Safe registered engineers and qualified electricians do the gas and electrical checks. The fire checks come from us too. You deal with one team, one booking and one set of paperwork.

We can book several checks into one visit. That means fewer days chasing tenants for access.

HMO Licences and Paperwork

Larger HMOs need a licence from the council. When you apply or renew, you are usually asked for copies of your safety certificates.

Keep each certificate in date and easy to find. Most of our certificates are sent within 24 to 48 hours of the visit.

If Something Fails

If a check finds a problem, we explain it in plain words. You get a clear price to fix it. Gas and electrical faults can be put right by the same team.

For fire safety gaps, your report says what to do and in what order. Once the work is done, you get updated paperwork for your records and your tenants.
