“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.”

WhatsAppHow much does a minor works certificate cost?
A minor works certificate from Lighting Electrical starts at £95. That is for one alteration on an existing circuit, with the tests and the form. Extra circuits or several changes on the same visit cost more than the starting price.
What is a minor works certificate?
It is the BS 7671 form that records a small electrical alteration on a circuit that already exists. Lighting Electrical issues it after testing that circuit, from £95. It is not an EICR and it is not the certificate for a new circuit.
Does a landlord need a minor works certificate?
A landlord needs the certificate after a small electrical alteration in a rental, so the work is on the property file. Lighting Electrical issues it from £95 once that circuit has been tested. It sits beside the EICR, which starts at £150.
Is a minor works certificate the same as an EICR?
No. An EICR is a condition report on the whole installation, from £150 with Lighting Electrical. A minor works certificate records one small alteration after it is finished. Keep both on the file if you have them.
Do the maintenance plans reduce the certificate price?
Bronze takes 5% off certificates, Silver takes 10% and Gold takes 15%. Each plan also includes a free safety certificate on its own timetable, and Gold includes three a year. The £95 starting price still applies if you book the certificate on its own.
