Guide Pricing

EICR Pricing in Kettering

A typical two-bedroom domestic property with one consumer unit and up to eight circuits starts from £175.

Other domestic properties receive a fixed quotation based on the number of circuits, consumer units and scope of the installation. Commercial installations are individually surveyed and quoted according to circuit count, premises type, access and testing requirements.

Remedial work is not included in the inspection price and will not be carried out or charged without your approval.

What Can Affect the Price
  • Additional consumer units, garages or outbuildings
  • Higher circuit counts or limited access
  • Solar PV, EV charging equipment or electric heating
  • Three-phase supplies
  • Missing or inaccurate circuit identification
Understanding EICRs

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your property's electrical systems. It identifies potential hazards, defective or outdated wiring, and any non-compliance with BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations).

For landlords in England, an EICR is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. It is generally required at least every 5 years, or sooner if the previous report recommends a shorter inspection interval. A valid satisfactory report can usually be supplied to new tenants during that period without a fresh inspection, provided it remains in date and covers the installation. For ongoing portfolio help beyond a single report, see our landlord electrical compliance support.

C1 — Danger present. Immediate remedial action required. Do not use until fixed.
C2 — Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action required.
FI — Further investigation required without delay.

Recent EICR in Kettering

At a two-bedroom rental property in Kettering, we found Class I metal light switches without an effective earth connection, inconsistent ring-final continuity readings requiring further investigation, and a higher-than-expected continuity reading on the upstairs lighting circuit.

The report was recorded as unsatisfactory. We separated observations requiring remedial work from those requiring further investigation, then gave the customer a clear explanation and quotation for the appropriate next steps.

Recommendation Based on Evidence

We assessed the actual observations and did not automatically recommend a complete rewire or consumer-unit replacement.

Customer and property-identifying details have been withheld for privacy.

Who Needs an EICR

Why You Might Need an EICR

Business Owners
Commercial EICRs support planned maintenance, workplace safety records and duty-of-care decisions. The appropriate inspection interval depends on the installation type, use, risk assessment and previous report.
Homeowners
Buying or selling a property, carrying out renovations, or living in an older home. An EICR gives you peace of mind and documentation for solicitors and insurers.
Letting Agents
Bulk testing options and fast reporting for your property portfolio. We understand your compliance timelines and reporting requirements.

Common Questions

EICR — Frequently Asked Questions

For landlords in England, an EICR is generally required at least every 5 years, or sooner if the previous report recommends a shorter inspection interval. A valid satisfactory report can usually be supplied to new tenants during that period without a fresh inspection, provided it remains in date and covers the installation. Failure to maintain a valid EICR can result in fines from the local authority.
A typical two-bedroom domestic property with one consumer unit and up to eight circuits starts from £175. Other domestic properties receive a fixed quotation based on the number of circuits, consumer units and scope of the installation. Commercial installations are individually surveyed and quoted according to circuit count, premises type, access and testing requirements. Remedial work is not included in the inspection price and will not be carried out or charged without your approval.
Most domestic inspections take 2–4 hours depending on the size of the property and number of circuits. Larger homes or commercial buildings may take longer, but you'll receive a clear timescale before work begins.
If observations result in an unsatisfactory report, we explain the classification codes and provide a clear quotation for appropriate remedial work or further investigation. An unsatisfactory report does not automatically mean the property needs a complete rewire or consumer-unit replacement. Where remedial work is completed, appropriate verification and report documentation are provided.
An EICR is recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes, every 5 years for rental properties, and at shorter intervals where the previous report recommends it. For commercial premises, the appropriate interval depends on the type of installation. Landlords must provide a valid, in-date EICR to tenants and their local authority on request.
It isn't a legal requirement, but many buyers and solicitors request one for peace of mind. Having a recent EICR can help speed up the sale process and demonstrate the property is electrically safe.
