How much does an EICR certificate cost in B69?

We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees, and include remedial work estimates if issues are found during inspection.

How long does an EICR inspection take?

For a typical B69 residential property, an EICR inspection takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the electrical installation. Larger properties or those with more extensive electrical systems may take longer. Commercial premises in B69 usually require 3-6 hours, though industrial locations with complex systems may need a full day or more. During the inspection, our electricians will need access to all areas with electrical installations, including loft spaces and outbuildings. We aim to minimize disruption by working efficiently and can schedule appointments outside normal business hours if required for B69 commercial clients.

What happens if my property fails the EICR inspection?

If your B69 property fails an EICR inspection, you'll receive a detailed report categorizing issues as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). For C1 and C2 issues, remedial work is required to obtain a satisfactory certificate. Our B69 electricians can provide a quote for these repairs and, once approved, schedule the work promptly. For landlords, regulations require C1 and C2 issues to be resolved within 28 days. After completing necessary repairs, we'll re-inspect the relevant circuits and issue a new EICR certificate at no additional charge, ensuring your B69 property complies with all electrical safety requirements.

In B69, as throughout England, EICR certificates are a legal requirement for private landlords under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the EICR and ensure inspections are conducted every 5 years. For homeowners in B69, while not legally mandated, many insurance policies now require a valid EICR, and it's recommended when selling your property.

Our team can advise on the specific requirements for your B69 property type.
