Electrical safety is a legal requirement for landlords and a smart decision for homeowners and businesses alike. But one common question we receive at NICEIC Electricians is: “How much does an EICR cost in Kensington?” In this article, we break down the factors that affect EICR pricing and why NICEIC-certified inspections offer the best value.
What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the condition and safety of electrical systems within a property. It identifies risks such as:
The outcome is either a ‘satisfactory’ or ‘unsatisfactory’ rating, along with a coded list of any issues that require attention.
What Affects the Cost?
Several key factors influence how much your EICR will cost:
-
Number of Circuits: More circuits mean more testing and longer inspection times.
-
Property Age: Older properties tend to require more detailed examination.
-
Access and Layout: Difficult-to-access areas may add time and complexity.
-
Type of Installation: Domestic and commercial systems have different requirements.
At NICEIC Electricians, we tailor every quote to the specific needs of your property and ensure full compliance with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
