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 did an internet search for local EICR providers, the search results were a bit thin, they included a non-registered electrician and a NICEIC DI who has a webpage about the requirements for landlords EICRs, this was the first  Paid for search result


    People aren’t getting the bit about not all NICEIC contractors being able to prepare EICRs for landlords, unless the government gets on and issues guidance to the contrary.


    And that’s not taking into account the number of people driving around with NICEIC stickers being displayed fraudulently on their vans.
