How much should a genuine EICR cost?
An electrical installation condition report (EICR) carried out by a reputable company that sends qualified engineers should cost the following amounts. Be cautious of companies offering prices prices significantly lower and check reviews to ensure they are reputable and are not using unrealistic low prices to win work and then charge you inflated prices for remedial work.
1 Bedroom - Cost: £190 + VAT
Includes: Full EICR inspection of wiring, fuse board, sockets, and fixtures across one bedroom and additional living spaces. More rooms require extra inspection time.
2 Bedroom - Cost: £220 + VAT
Includes: Thorough inspection of electrical systems across two bedrooms and shared living spaces. Larger properties involve more wiring and fixtures to check.
3 Bedroom - Cost: £250 + VAT

What’s involved in a Snowik EICR?
Firstly, one of our electricians will perform a visual assessment before carrying out a series of checks on your electrical systems. The aim of the report is to identify any hazards, so the inspection is graded by the following codes
- C1: Dangerous, presenting a high risk of injury.
- C2: Potentially dangerous.
- C3: Improvement recommended.
If we identify any code one (C1) problems, we will fix these immediately to ensure the safety of any tenants. Any code two (C2) or code three (C3) problems will be noted during the inspection and quoted separately.
We will update the client on the severity of the issues & costings, if approved we can request to stay & fix.
After the inspection, you will receive a complete seven-page report and a quote for any remedial works. Whilst it can take a couple of days to process the paperwork, we do our best to process all electrical installation condition reports as quickly as possible.
What is checked when carrying out an EICR?
We will test your electrics during your EICR test to ensure the safety of your property and residents. These electrical safety checks include
- Checking your fuse board to ensure it’s safe and compliant with the latest regulations, featuring all necessary circuit breakers and RCD protection
- Ensuring all electrics are correctly earthed to prevent fatal electric shocks.
- Checking your gas-meter pipework, water pipework, radiators, and all the metal in the building.
- Checking your sockets, lights, switches, and accessories to ensure all wiring is installed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
It is recommended that private properties get an EICR every 10 years, and it is now mandatory that landlords have an installation inspected and tested at least every five years or when you have a change of tenancy – and more often if the most recent safety report requires it. However, the Landlord’s Electrical Safety Certificate is also accepted as a valid EICR.
If your property fails the EICR, the report will list recommended remedial work to bring the installation up to standard. As a landlord, you’re required by law to complete any remedial work within 28 days.
Yes, all rental properties in England require a valid EICR by law, with similar regulations in Scotland and Wales. Landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the EICR report and renew it every 5 years.
