A dependable commercial EICR quotation is based on the number of distribution boards and circuits, the installation records available, access constraints and the testing programme—not floor area alone. We confirm the scope in writing so duty holders can compare quotations on a like-for-like basis.
Domestic and landlord EICRs in Canterbury 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.
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.
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.
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.
