How much does an EICR cost?

EICR certificates start from £165 + VAT for a studio, £185 for a 1-bedroom and £195 for a 2–3 bedroom property. Larger homes, HMOs and commercial premises are quoted individually — use the instant quote tool above or call for a fixed price.

How long is an EICR certificate valid for?

For rented homes an EICR lasts a maximum of 5 years, or sooner if the report recommends it. Owner-occupiers are advised to have one every 10 years, or when buying or selling a property.

Can you provide a same-day EICR?

In most cases, yes, subject to availability — call us early and we’ll do our best to fit you in. Same-day issue of the report is an extra £40 + VAT.

What is an EICR and who needs one?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection and test of a property’s fixed electrical installation. Landlords of rented homes covered by the regulations must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years. Owner-occupiers are recommended one every 10 years. Many buyers request one before purchasing a property.

How long does an EICR take?

A 1-bedroom flat typically takes 2–3 hours. A 3-bedroom house usually takes 3–4 hours. Commercial properties vary with the number of circuits. We’ll give you a time estimate when you book.

What if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?

An unsatisfactory report means one or more C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) items were found. Landlords must carry out remedial work within 28 days, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period. We can quote for remedial work at the time of inspection and fix minor issues on the same visit.

Will the power need to be off?

Yes — we’ll need to isolate individual circuits to carry out testing. Power to each circuit will be off for a short period while we test it. We’ll let you know what to expect before we start.

Will you remind me when my EICR is due for renewal?

Yes — every EICR we issue goes into our free expiry-reminder log. We contact you before it is next due, so your property never drops out of compliance without you knowing.

Do landlords need an EICR?

Yes. In England a private landlord must have the electrical installation in a rented property inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, give a copy of the report (the EICR) to tenants within 28 days, and complete any remedial work coded C1, C2 or FI within 28 days, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period. Local authorities can fine landlords who do not comply.

EICR Specialists

EICR Certificate London

Most EICR enquiries come from the same three places: a landlord who needs a valid certificate, a letting or managing agent looking after someone else’s portfolio, and a business that has been asked for one. We inspect and test properly, write the report so you can actually see what needs doing, and can put the remedial work right afterwards — though you are under no obligation to use us for it.

What you actually get

The difference between a certificate and an inspection

You can buy an EICR in London for under £100. What varies is not the piece of paper — it is how carefully the installation was looked at, and whether the report tells you anything you can use.

A real inspection, not a walk round

Dead and live testing on the circuits, the board opened and checked, and the installation looked at against BS 7671 rather than glanced at. Where a circuit cannot be tested safely or access is blocked, we say so in the report instead of leaving a gap.

Observations you can act on

Every observation is coded — C1, C2, C3 or FI — and written in plain language beside the code, so you can see what is dangerous, what needs improving and what is simply worth knowing. A report you have to ring somebody to understand is not finished.

Remedial work, quoted separately

If the installation fails, we can put it right. The remedial quote is separate from the inspection, itemised, and yours to take elsewhere if you want to. We would rather be the people you trust next time than the people who found a fault and priced it as a captive.

Someone who is still here next year

Rented homes in England must be inspected at least every five years, and the report itself sets the date for the next one — sometimes sooner. Commercial intervals depend on the installation, how it is used and the environment it is in, and are recommended on the report rather than fixed in law. Either way it comes round again, and portfolios come round repeatedly. We are based at Western Gateway in the Royal Docks and have been trading since 2007 — the same number answers next time.

Are we NICEIC? No. Royal Docks Electrical is not NICEIC, NAPIT or TrustMark registered and we will not pretend otherwise — a landlord comparing quotes deserves a straight answer. We are City & Guilds qualified with over 28 years in the trade, we carry £5m public liability insurance, we inspect and test to BS 7671 and issue the report, and we guarantee our workmanship for three years. If your lender, insurer or local authority specifically requires a scheme-registered contractor, say so when you call and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm for that job.

Why It Matters

Electrical safety is not optional

Faulty electrics are one of the leading causes of house fires in the UK.

20,000+ fires per year

Electricity causes over 20,000 accidental fires every year across the UK, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of serious injuries.

Up to £40,000 fine

Landlords who fail to obtain a valid EICR face penalties of up to £40,000. Local authorities can also arrange remedial work at the landlord’s expense.

Every 5 years

Rented homes covered by the regulations must have a valid EICR, renewed at least every 5 years — and a new tenancy must have one in place.
