    EICR - Shallow Back Box Depth a Fault?

    EICR pricing per circuit

    Having some pricing debates in the office recently. What are people charging for EICR's at the moment? We're about 18.50 per circuit but recently lost one of our caravan park customers. This aside, 18.50 still feels a bit cheap to me. Cheers
