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

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?.

  • I would suggest that maybe a quarter of those electricians who advertise themselves as NICEIC registered are Domestic Installers who cannot undertake EICR work and the same again are contractors doing work such as shop fit outs and petrol stations who are interested in doing domestic EICRs or have the experience.


    So maybe half the NICEIC firms may be interested in doing this domestic EICR work?
