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?.

  • Or maybe because there is not any compulsion and EICRs for privately rented homes are seen as going above and beyond by the majority of landlords they are not realistically priced, six months from now it could be a different story.


    Many rented homes have fifty year old wiring, that is hardly midlife. I think it is assumed that landlords buy a property and update everything, that is far from the truth.
