Who needs one
EICR prices, fixed and published
No call-out fee, no hourly meter. The price we agree is the price you pay.
Standard scope: one consumer unit, up to 12 circuits, single-phase. Extras if they apply, always agreed first: additional consumer unit +£50, outbuilding tested on the same visit +£50, +£15 per circuit beyond 12, three-phase from +£75 (all + VAT). See our guide to what an EICR costs and why.
Seen a much cheaper EICR advertised? Ask two questions: how long will they spend on site, and how many circuits do they actually test? We allow one to two hours for smaller homes and around two hours for a typical 3 or 4-bed, test properly, and never invent remedial work to make up for a cheap certificate.
What happens on the day
Usually two of us on site, so the inspection is thorough without taking your whole day.
Fuse board, circuits and accessories, inspected and tested without rushing. Power is off in short bursts and we work around you.
Your certificate is completed carefully after the visit and emailed to you, with every C1, C2, C3 and FI code explained so you know exactly where you stand.
If anything needs putting right, you get a separate itemised quote. No pressure, and you are free to use anyone you like for the fixes.
Landlord renewals: we can diary your 5-year date and remind you when it is due.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an EICR cost in Bristol?
Our prices are fixed and published: £180 + VAT for a studio, 1 or 2-bed property, £250 + VAT for a typical 3-bed house, £300 + VAT for a 4-bed and £350 + VAT for a 5-bed. HMOs and larger homes are priced after a quick chat, from £350 + VAT. The price we agree is the price you pay.
How long does an EICR take?
We allow 1 to 2 hours for smaller homes and around 2 hours for a typical 3 or 4-bed house, with two of us on site for most visits. We finish the certificate afterwards and email it to you, so you are not waiting around.
Is an EICR a legal requirement?
For rented homes in England, yes: landlords must have a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years, give tenants a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and show new tenants the report before they move in. For owner-occupied homes it is not law, but an inspection roughly every 10 years is the standard recommendation.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
The report will list observations coded C1, C2, C3 or FI. C1 and C2 items make the report unsatisfactory and need putting right; C3 items are improvements, not failures. We explain every code in plain English and quote remedial work separately, itemised, and you are free to use anyone you like for the fixes.
How often should an EICR be done?
Every 5 years for rented property, roughly every 10 years for an owner-occupied home, and sooner if you are buying, selling, taking on tenants, or the installation has visible problems.
Do I need an EICR to sell or buy a house?
It is not a legal requirement, but buyers, solicitors and mortgage lenders increasingly ask. A pre-exchange EICR tells you exactly what you are buying and is far cheaper than discovering problems after completion.
