Average price for an EICR? Another poll! Please read post before voting.

[HappyHippyDad]

I'm going a bit poll crazy at the moment. I love polls!

This one is just a bit of fun. It's obviously very inaccurate and there will be many variations on price, but...

Lets just ask 'What price would you charge for an EICR on an average 2-3 bed house'? No outbuildings, one consumer unit (10 or less used ways). Just your bulk standard, domestic house.

Who’s going to pick the top or bottom choices just for the giggles?

I’ll cast my vote later… but I charge on my hourly rate… If it takes a morning, then it takes a morning.

I basically charge my day rate, plus a little bit.

If there are bits and pieces that need fixing and can be done at the time - like replacing cracked sockets, adding earthing tails to metal switches, filling/patching holes in consumer units, adding blanks, a little bit of fault-finding - I just charge for the materials. Unless it's an empty property with very few sockets, standard pendant sets etc, I'm usually there til early / mid afternoon.

If more extensive work is needed - adding bonding, anything involving lifting floorboards or burrowing under loft insulation - I'll either quote or give an estimate for rectifying at a later date. If I can get the report written up and the invoice done by 5pm then I'm quids in - if I have to do it during the evening, then that's were the "plus a little bit" comes in.

I also charge my hourly rate for this, including time typing up the report. For a house as in your opening post, it's probably 3 or 4 hours on site, but it can vary quite a bit.
