Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an EICR inspection cost in London?
Residential EICR prices can start from £75, depending on the property size, number of circuits, number of consumer units, access, parking and location. Commercial EICRs are usually quoted after reviewing the property details.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. In England, landlords must have the electrical installations in rented properties inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a properly qualified person.
How long does an EICR inspection take?
The time depends on the property size, number of circuits, access and condition of the electrical installation. A small flat may take less time than a large house, HMO or commercial premises.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
If the report is unsatisfactory, it will usually include observations such as C1, C2 or FI. These issues normally need action before the installation can be treated as satisfactory.
Do you provide EICR reports the same day?
In many cases, digital EICR reports are issued on the same day or shortly after the inspection, subject to the inspection findings and whether any additional review or remedial work is required.
