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?.

  • So slightly over £10 plus VAT per circuit. I guess they only make money when they find a second DB of some sort - such as an economy 7 heating DB, or a household extensions DB.......


    Maybe they get a single operative to do three of these a day? Flats with 4 way DBs - a few of those could be done per day and maybe over the year these average out to a reasonable cost.......


    I wonder how much they charge for circuits 11 and up?

    There feels like there should commonly be a catch here.

    I'm not sure how many properties would have more than 1 DB - probably more than 50% of them?


    Please understand though - I don't know and don't want to impugn the company in question shown above though, nor question the quality of their work with out ever having seen a sample of it.
