Questions from Barnet clients

Frequently asked questions

How much does an EICR cost in Barnet?

Domestic and landlord EICRs in Barnet start from £80 + VAT, HMO EICRs from £149 + VAT and commercial EICRs from £199 + VAT. Larger homes and commercial sites are priced on the number of consumer units, distribution boards and circuits, and you receive a fixed written quotation before booking. Remedial work is always quoted separately and you are free to use any competent electrician for it.

How often do I need an EICR in Barnet?

Private landlords in England must have the fixed installation inspected at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Offices, shops and hotels are normally inspected every five years, industrial premises every three years and owner-occupied homes every ten years, unless the previous report recommends a shorter interval.

How quickly can you complete an EICR in Barnet?

Most flats and small houses take two to four hours on site and most small commercial units can be tested in a day. Larger buildings are tested in planned phases, including out of hours where needed. The digital report is normally issued within one to three working days.

What happens if the EICR is unsatisfactory?

Any C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation) observation makes the report unsatisfactory. Landlords must complete the remedial work within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, and give written confirmation to the tenant and the local authority. C3 observations are recommendations and do not cause a fail.

Yes. Polarity Electrics London Ltd is an NICEIC Approved Contractor (#602034000) and every report is completed to BS 7671:2018+A3:2024 by a qualified, competent inspector.
