EICR in Kent
Kent has a mix of Medway Towns terraces, university lets in Canterbury, coastal properties in Thanet, Folkestone and Dover, and fast-growing commuter areas around Ashford, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells.
Coastal properties are more exposed to damp and corrosion at accessories and consumer units, while large HMO concentrations in Canterbury and Medway make combined EICR, fire alarm and emergency lighting visits popular with Kent landlords.
Whether you need a landlord EICR to meet the five-year rule, an inspection before buying or selling, or a planned fixed wire test for a workplace, our NICEIC-enrolled engineers inspect and test to BS 7671, code every observation and give you a plain-English summary with a priced remedial list.
