Please identify whether the inspection covers one unit or shared electrical equipment and arrange access with the building manager where needed. We will discuss operating hours, distribution boards and any limitations before testing.

Your quotation, inspection and report
- Send the property details. Include the full address, property use, approximate size, previous report and your preferred timing.
- Agree scope and access. The price depends on the number of circuits, installation layout and practical access. Testing involves planned interruptions to the supply.
- Receive a written report. We record the inspection and test findings, observations and recommended next steps. A satisfactory outcome depends on the installation; it is not promised in advance.
- Discuss follow-up work. Any further investigation or remedial repairs are explained and quoted separately where required.
How much does an EICR cost in Bristol City Centre?
The quotation reflects the installation and agreed scope: property size, circuits and distribution boards, access and any known limitations. A flat and a multi-floor business can involve different work. Send the previous report and property details so we can explain what is included and quote separately for any additional work.
How long does an EICR take?
Time depends on the installation, access and testing scope. Tell us about tenant appointments, concierge entry, shared electrical rooms and business opening hours. We can discuss an estimated visit length and temporary power interruptions before booking.
How often do I need an EICR?
For rented homes in England covered by the electrical safety regulations, inspections are required at intervals of no more than five years, or sooner where the report specifies. See the current government guidance. For owner-occupied homes and commercial premises, follow the applicable requirements and the recommended next inspection date for the installation.
Is an electrical safety certificate the same as an EICR?
People often use “electrical safety certificate” when asking for an EICR. The EICR is a report on the existing fixed installation. Tell us whether you need a property condition inspection or certification for new electrical work so the correct service can be arranged.
