EICR prices - 3 bed semi or per certificate?

Was referring to Mary Wherry @Des 56.....admittedly nothing to do with eicrs but it made people look at the industry, specifically domestic electrical works

Ah right I understand now

I did read of and know of that case,it was a tragedy and this particular case showed that no action would likely ever be taken to make schemes and rogue companies become responsible in the eicr market

Thanks very much for the info

here are idiots sorry el3ctricians out there doing them for £60-£100.

what you are saying cut corners when its not tested fully .£30 per circuit the op should be charging ..

I too have just about given up on EICRs. I quote £120 - which is barely worth it as I tend to do it properly and make a day of it.

I don't get any takers.

I charge £150 for a standard 1-2 bed flat and £250 for a standard 3-4 bed house, any bigger and it's estimated on time or per circuit! I seem to do a lot of houses but not so many flats, mainly student let houses too.

I charge a days labour as the base price then may reduce it by say 10 or 20 if its literally on the doorstep and dont have to go far.
standard price though is 240 for a 3 bed semi

Get ya self in the arms @SparkySy, you’ll find people more inclined to discuss prices etc than on an open forum

Ah I didn't know that! Do I need to speak to the landlord to get in?

I was asked if I can test a domestic property in Liverpool yesterday, I said yes i can and told them I charge £120 for an EICR. They then replied
"£100 sounds better"
I replied saying no I charge £120 for a domestic EICR (Which i think is pretty reasonable?)
They did not reply!

Out of curiosity how much do you charge for a domestic EICR and what area are you from?
I Feel like £100 is too cheap for a proper inspection and test?
and do any of you negotiate on price at all?
I set a price and dont move from it as i think if i could do it any cheaper (without doing myself over) then I would? If i set a price and then lower it was i not overcharging in the first place?

Curious to hear other opinions!

£200 minimum. Location is Derry in the north-west of Ireland.
