An EICR for a typical 3-bedroom home costs between £150 and £250. A larger 5-bedroom property may cost £250–£400. Prices vary by region — London and the South East are typically more expensive. The inspection usually takes 3–4 hours for a standard home. The cost covers the inspection, all testing, and the written report. It does not include any remedial work — if faults are found, these will be quoted separately. Always use an NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician, ask for a fixed price upfront, and make sure you receive a formal EICR document (not just a letter or email) at the end. Be wary of very cheap EICRs — a thorough inspection takes time and cheap inspections are often superficial.
