The cost of an EICR in Tiptree
Pricing follows the scale of the installation: how many circuits the place has and how long testing takes. The written figure covers the visit, the tests and the finished report.
From £150
Included in the inspection
- Visual check of the consumer unit, cabling, sockets, switches and fixed lighting
- Dead and live tests on the circuits, including earth continuity and insulation resistance
- Classification of each observation as C1, C2, C3 or FI on the report
- A written EICR for the property, signed by us
- A short talk through the findings before we leave
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Bank transfer
- Fewer circuits means a shorter visit and a lower figure; large or commercial premises take longer.
- Repairs are never wrapped into the inspection price and are quoted on their own.

What happens on the day
Plan on losing power in sections while testing runs, with the paperwork completed on site.
- A walk through firstAfter checking the consumer unit, we get a feel for the layout and you can point to anything that already concerns you, like lights that flicker or a tripping breaker.
- Testing with the power offCircuits are switched off individually for dead and live tests of insulation resistance, earth continuity and polarity, then powered back before the next.
- The report handed overEach finding carries a code, C1, C2, C3, FI, dangers are made safe while we are there and you keep the signed EICR.

“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppWhat does an EICR involve?
A visual once over of the consumer unit and the fixed wiring, then dead and live testing of each circuit. Everything found is graded on the written report.
Is an EICR required when selling a house?
No law forces a seller to have one, but buyers, solicitors and lenders do ask. A current report means that question is already answered when it comes.
What does an unsatisfactory EICR mean?
It means C1 or C2 items were found. C1 dangers are dealt with during the visit itself, and C2 faults need repair before the installation can be called satisfactory.
How soon does a rental need a new report?
Before the existing one runs out, and no later than five years after the last inspection. A new certificate is issued each time the property is tested.
Does the inspection include repairs?
No, the fee pays for the visit, all the testing and the finished report. The fixes are costed separately in writing, with the choice of who does them left to you.
