Competitive pricing for Domestic EICR's. Why so low?

Jaymack
There's a few sites that offer Electrical Reports, most with registered electricians; albeit some quote VAT and some without. Most quoted prices for these, do not reflect a reasonable charge, based upon qualifications, experience, thoroughness and probable time spent.

1. Are there too many players? 2. Are the standards falling? 3. Is too much reliance placed on follow up work?. 4. Are those organisations who "register" inspectors not being sufficiently critical.? 5. Should there be additional or separate registration for electrical inspectors?. 6. City and Guilds 2391 for Inspection and Testing, was considered as being too difficult to pass and watered down by the players, is that the reason for the proliference of players and a race to the bottom?.

    Point 6. In my class of mature military service leavers, most if not all of us passed the NAPIT accredited domestic installers' course. 2394 was a completely different matter - I think that it was the very thorough testing under direct observation and against the clock that was the killer. The course was intensive and you had to do your homework in the evenings to stand any chance. Once you had passed that, 2395 was practically assured because the difficult tasks had already been done once before. Interestingly, there were about half as many places on the 2395 course than the 2394 one.


    I have no idea how this compares with the current 2391-50, -51, and -52 standards.


    The consensus amongst the tutors was that a couple of modest properties was a reasonable day's work.
