    HMO Electrical Work

    Hi I am looking carry out work in my 3 bed flat to prepare for HMO.

    Can someone please help confirm if the electrical hard wired smoke alarms need plastic back box fitted, if I already have a concrete ceiling.

    Thanks, Ray

    Not sure I understand your question, perhaps you could rephrase? Are you concerned about maintaining the fire rating of your compartment ceiling?

        • EICR Question
          by alsjack
          There has probably already been many questions on this so I apologise for yet another!

          I have an EICR which is about 3 years old and my current tenants moved in about 15 months ago, prior to having to provide a new EICR to new tenants I think.

          Is this EICR still valid or will...

          I think even the electricians are tiring of doing these in such numbers and as a result showing more lenience than six or nine months ago...

          Lights without RCD protection is a C3

          that is fact

          unless it was designed and built since jan 2019

          RCD(s) provided for fault protection - includes RCBOs (411.4.204; 411.5.2; 531.2) C2

          Lighting Not RCD Protected, cables buried less than 50mm within the fabric of the building not
          mechanically protected.

          Hum, get a cheaper EICR, you are almost guaranteed that it will identify more C2’s , which cost more to put right, but aren’t actually needed

          EICRs are like gas checks, get them done properly, keep your tenants safe

          and if the inspector says it needs retesting in 3 years,...

          What were the C2’s on the other sites?

          if the muppet is saying your house doesn’t meet the 18th edition he’s a fool. Yes inspect to the 18th edition BUT non compliance’s to earlier versions are generally a C3

          can you list the specific C2’s as they are stated on the EICR?

        • Can an electrician certify his own work ?
          by landlordray
          I am currently refurbishing a property which is to be fully rewired.
          is the electrician allowed to issue a EICR . ? as he is effectively checking his own work,
          or does this have to be certified by an independent qualified electrician. ?

          thanks...
