What is included
- Visual inspection of the consumer unit, cables, sockets, switches, light fittings and fixed equipment for damage, wear and signs of overheating.
- Earthing and bonding checks on the main earth and the bonding to gas and water pipes.
- Dead tests with the power off: continuity of protective conductors, insulation resistance and polarity.
- Live tests with the power on: earth fault loop impedance and RCD trip times.
- A schedule of test results listing every circuit, so the next electrician can see exactly what was tested.
- Your report, with every observation coded and the date the next inspection is due.
Why EICR prices vary so much
An EICR is only as good as the testing behind it. Two quotes can look very different because one electrician tests every circuit and opens up a sample of accessories, and another spends much less time on site. A cheap report that misses a fault can cost more in the end, especially for landlords, who must act on what the report finds.
The price also depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits, how easy it is to reach the fuse board and the loft, and whether the installation has been tested before.
How to compare EICR quotes
- Will every circuit be tested, with a full schedule of test results?
- Will each observation be coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, so you know what is urgent?
- Is the electrician registered with a scheme such as NAPIT?
- When will you get the report, and will someone explain it to you?
- If work is needed, will you get a clear price before it starts?

Landlords
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years, give tenants a copy, and put right any C1, C2 or FI items within 28 days. Councils can fine landlords up to £30,000. See our landlord EICR service.
Common questions
How much is an EICR in Bristol?
With us, £195 for a flat up to 2 bedrooms and £220 for a house up to 4 bedrooms. Larger homes and commercial premises are quoted.
Is the price the same for landlords?
Yes. A landlord EICR is the same inspection and test, and the report is what you need to meet the 2020 rental regulations.
How long does an EICR take?
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. We give you a time when we confirm the booking.
Will the power be off?
Yes, in short spells while circuits are tested. We tell you before it goes off, so plan around freezers, alarms and working from home.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
We explain each C1, C2 or FI item and quote for the work. Once it is fixed, you get the paperwork that shows it has been put right.
How quickly will I get the report?
Reports are emailed as soon as the work is done, often the same day.
