An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report, the electrical safety certificate landlords need) costs from £99.95+VAT for a home and from £99.95+VAT for commercial premises. The price goes up with the number of circuits to test, so a studio flat sits at the bottom of the range and a large house, an HMO or a multi-board commercial building costs more.
| Property | Easy EPC price | What we price it on |
|---|---|---|
| Flat or small house | From £99.95+VAT | Number of circuits |
| Larger house | Quoted on the details | Number of circuits and fuse boards |
| HMO or shared house | Quoted on the details | Circuits, plus each extra consumer unit |
| Office, shop or industrial unit | From £99.95+VAT | Circuits and distribution boards (photos help) |
| Remedial work after the report | From £129.95+VAT | The faults the report lists |
These are from-prices. Every property is quoted on its own details, and our prices are competitive. Tell us roughly how many circuits you have (count the switches in the fuse box) and we'll come back with a firm figure, and the advice that goes with it. Get a free EICR quote.
The number of circuits is the main thing. Each one is tested on its own, so more circuits means more time on site. You can count them yourself: each switch (MCB) or fuse in the consumer unit is one circuit.
Size of the property. A one-bed flat has a handful of circuits. A large house with an extension, a garage and outside lighting has many more.
Number of fuse boards. HMOs, converted buildings and extended houses often have more than one consumer unit, and each adds time.
Age of the wiring. Older installations take longer to test safely and are more likely to turn up faults that need writing up.
Access. The electrician needs to reach the consumer unit and the sockets. Clearing furniture and stored boxes before the visit keeps it quick.
A domestic EICR usually takes 2 to 4 hours. The power is off for parts of it, so book a time when that suits the people living there.
A landlord electrical safety certificate is an EICR, and it costs the same as any domestic EICR: from £99.95+VAT for a flat or small house. The inspection is identical. What differs is the law around it.
In England, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require private landlords to have the installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. You give a copy to your tenants within 28 days, to new tenants before they move in, and to the council within 7 days if they ask. Councils can fine up to £30,000 for a breach.
So the cost over time is one EICR every 5 years, plus any remedial work the report calls for. Our landlord EICR guide has the full rules, and how long an EICR lasts covers renewal dates.
A commercial EICR starts from £99.95+VAT. Offices, shops, restaurants and industrial units vary so much that we price each one on its circuits and distribution boards.
To quote quickly, we ask for photos of every distribution board with the door open. They show us how many circuits there are and whether the supply is single or three-phase, which saves guesswork on both sides.
The price rises with three-phase supplies, boards spread across several floors, and specialist kit such as commercial kitchens, extraction and machinery. Most commercial premises are inspected every 5 years, and industrial sites more often. Our commercial EICR guide covers who is responsible and how often.
The EICR price covers the inspection and the report. If the report finds problems coded C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation needed), the installation is Unsatisfactory until they are fixed.
Our electricians carry out the remedial work needed to make the report Satisfactory on the day, up to £200+VAT, provided they have the time and parts. That covers the common small jobs and saves a second visit.
Bigger jobs are quoted separately, with EICR remedial work from £129.95+VAT. Landlords have 28 days to complete remedial work, or less if the report says so, and then give written confirmation to the tenant and the council. Read what happens if an EICR fails for the next steps.
A fair EICR price covers a full inspection of the fixed installation: the wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings, consumer unit, earthing and bonding. Each circuit is tested, anything found is coded, and you get the written report.
It does not cover portable appliances such as kettles and TVs (that is PAT testing), and it does not cover repairs beyond the on-the-day allowance.
When comparing quotes, ask three things: how long the electrician will be on site, whether the price includes the full report, and whether it is shown with or without VAT. Our prices are shown +VAT, so a from-price of £99.95+VAT is £119.94 including VAT. Ring us on 0800 170 1201 and you'll speak to someone who can talk you through the quote and, afterwards, the report.
See what landlords, homeowners and businesses say about working with Easy EPC.
An EICR costs from £99.95+VAT for a domestic property and from £99.95+VAT for commercial premises. The final price depends mainly on how many circuits there are to test, so a large house or a building with several fuse boards costs more than a small flat.
An electrical safety certificate for a home, sometimes called an electrical test certificate, is an EICR, and ours start from £99.95+VAT. Landlords, letting agents and homeowners all get the same inspection and the same report.
A landlord EICR costs the same as any domestic EICR, from £99.95+VAT, and in England it has to be renewed at least every 5 years. HMOs and larger houses with more circuits cost more.
A commercial EICR starts from £99.95+VAT. It is priced on the number of circuits and distribution boards, so we ask for photos of each board with the door open before we quote.
No. Our prices are shown +VAT, and VAT is charged at 20%. A from-price of £99.95+VAT comes to £119.94 including VAT.
The price covers the inspection and the report. If our electrician has the time and parts, they will carry out the remedial work needed to make the report Satisfactory on the day, up to £200+VAT. Anything bigger is quoted separately, with EICR remedial work from £129.95+VAT.
A proper domestic EICR usually takes 2 to 4 hours, because every circuit has to be tested. A very low price can mean a short visit, a report that leaves things out, or extras added later. Ask how long the electrician will be on site and what the price includes.
You pay once the inspection is done. We send the invoice after the visit and email the report as soon as it is paid.
