Discuss Time required for EICR in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

hi guys, im new on here but i was testing for the local authority in void properties for years, to do a thorough inspection and test including your paperwork on an average 3bed installation should take about 4-5 hours, and that all depends on what your test results/visual inspection reveal. we also carried out all necessary remedial work and upgrading on top of testing so every void property went back satisfactory.
hope this helps.
 
When you meet the customer and talk them through the job you need to emphasis the detail you go into and how long it should take - so for such a property 5 hours min, plus the time at home to prepare the relevent documentation, etc, etc.

If they get a quote for 1/2 your price simply walk away.

Try this around my area. There is no explaining it to people once money gets involved. You tell them it will take a day and its for your safety, they turn around and say another 'spark' will come in and do it all in one hour and half/ a third of my quote.
