HMO EICR Folkestone
EICR services for property developers and HMO landlords Folkestone. Pre-purchase inspections, HMO certification, conversion compliance, and remedial works.
HMO EICR Folkestone
SEG Ltd provides EICR services for property developers and HMO landlords Folkestone. Houses in Multiple Occupation have specific electrical safety requirements, an EICR is required before licensing, and the condition of the electrical installation is a key factor in HMO licence applications.
For property developers Folkestone, we provide EICRs for pre-purchase due diligence, post-conversion certification, and new-build verification. Flat conversions, HMO conversions, and refurbishment projects all need EICR certification to demonstrate the electrical installation meets current standards. We can also advise on consumer unit upgrades and wiring improvements needed to meet BS7671 for planning or building control sign-off.
Our engineers are experienced with HMO electrical requirements including individual circuit protection for each letting unit, shared area wiring, and fire alarm integration. All engineers are DBS checked and fully insured. Contact us to arrange your inspection.
What an EICR Covers
A thorough inspection and test of all fixed electrical wiring and installations in the property.
Visual Inspection
Every accessible part of the fixed wiring is visually inspected for damage, deterioration, defects, and non-compliance with current regulations.
Circuit Testing
Every circuit is tested for earth fault loop impedance, insulation resistance, RCD operation, and correct polarity, verifying safe and compliant performance.
Consumer Unit Check
The consumer unit (fuse board) is inspected for correct protection devices, labelling, condition, and compliance with BS7671 18th Edition requirements.
Coded Observations
Any defects are recorded with observation codes, C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required).
Detailed Report
You receive a comprehensive EICR document showing every circuit tested, results achieved, and any observations with coded recommendations for remedial work.
