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 worded that comment about NICEIC electricians all wrong.


    Certsure has around 35575 electricians as customers.


    I would guess that at least a quarter are doing hazardous area and other work, so have no interest in doing domestic EICRs.


    Another quarter may be Domestic Installers who are not approved by the NICEIC to undertake EICRs and will need to upgrade to being an Approved Contractor.


    Which may leave around half of the electricians the NICEIC has as customers able and interested in undertaking domestic EICRs.
