The cost depends on the size of your property and the number of circuits required. For a standard residential property, expect to pay between £650 and £1,200 including parts, labour, testing, and certification. We provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden extras before any work begins.

A landlord EICR is valid for 5 years, or less if the electrician recommends an earlier re-inspection date. Since June 2020, landlords in England must have a valid EICR for every tenanted property. If your report has expired or shows unsatisfactory results, you need to act within 28 days.

In most cases, no. A consumer unit replacement can be done without a full rewire. However, if your wiring is very old or damaged, some additional work may be needed. We will always let you know before starting if any extra work is required.

Yes. You are not obligated to use the same company that carried out your EICR inspection. You can get quotes from any qualified electrician for the remedial work. Many customers come to us for a second opinion and often find our prices more competitive.
