WHAT AFFECTS THE COST?
- Property size — number of bedrooms and circuits
- Number of circuits — each needs individual testing
- Age and condition — older properties take longer
- Property type — HMOs cost more than single lets
- Location — London prices are higher than the rest of the UK

Commercial distribution board testing with Fluke professional equipment — MN Electrical.
THE QUOTE-AND-UPSELL TRAP
A common pattern: very low EICR price, then a report full of C2 items for expensive remedial work that a second opinion might classify as C3. Protect yourself by using a NAPIT or NICEIC registered electrician, getting a fully itemised quote before any remedial work begins, and seeking a second opinion if unsure.
WHAT MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
- Full inspection of consumer unit and all fixed wiring
- Testing of all circuits
- Written EICR certificate with all observations coded
- Clear Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory verdict
The certificate should always be included in the price — never pay extra for it.
