Cost of an EICR test near me

The cost of an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) test can vary depending on the location, size of the property, and the electrician or company you choose. Generally, for London and surrounding areas, the cost ranges as follows:

Approximate Cost of EICR Test:

• 1-2 bedroom flat: £120 - £180
• 3-4 bedroom house: £180 - £250
• Larger properties or commercial properties: £250 and above

Factors Affecting the Cost:

1. Property Size: Larger properties require more time to inspect, which increases the price.
2. Condition of Electrical Installations: If the property is older or has outdated electrical systems, the inspection may take longer, affecting the cost.
3. Location: Prices in metropolitan areas like London are generally higher compared to rural locations.
4. Urgency: If the test is needed urgently or outside of standard working hours, you may incur additional charges.

Additional Costs:

If the EICR identifies faults or issues that need rectification (known as remedial work), this will come at an additional cost. Minor repairs like replacing a faulty outlet may cost around £50-£100, while more significant rewiring or consumer unit upgrades could be several hundred pounds.

It’s recommended to ask for a detailed quote from a local qualified electrician to get the most accurate price for your EICR.
