At that price they probably aren't worth the paper they are written on....

I charge per circuit £25-£35. Depends on complexity of installation and ease or difficulty getting to the CU and other equipment etc. I have heard (recently) of £100 per circuit and the man in question landing a contract for twelve CU at that price. So I think you may hold the record for the lowest price in history. You sure aint going to make a living on your price structure. I would not do it for less than I have said.

What inspection can be carried out in this time ?

 

[Des 56]

Are these inspections being done on behalf of a council or housing association? perhaps considered as being an expected days work

If that is the case(and bearing in mind the sometimes repeating nature of the installations)it could be envisaged that 2 a day could be expected

If they are "one off" private properties,the time taken for a thorough examination and/or the price are well off what would could be considered a quality days work for a quality days pay

Ur all mad, the council expect there workers todo 3 health and safety checks a day, roughly 2 hrs a house. Within that 2hrs you write up the circuits, test your loops of sockets, test button of rcbo/rcd,Zs every circuit and visual . Most boys don't even do this. It's tight.

But if you ask them is it a percentage test, they say no full test lol

This made me actually laugh out loud. £60 for an eicr?? How many circuits were there? One?

To be fair, it's not a bad rate if he's only gonna do half a job of it.

its a ridiculous rate, if you want to survive more than 6months you should be charging at least £25 per circuit, you also have time spent doing paper work.

you people make me scream, no where near enough to survive, its no good listening to people who dont even work in the industry, moaning about the cost, if tested and inspected properly a 2 up 2 down should take about three hours and cost around £120, dont forget the time to and from the site has got to be paid for aswell.

You have to be charging minimum of £150 to cover admin, tax, insurance, fuel etc etc. Thats what I take for a 3 bedroom empty relet property. Takes about a morning to carry out test and inspection and an hour to do admin.
