How to price an EICR
An EICR is priced mostly by how long the inspection takes, which comes down to the size of the property and how many circuits and consumer units you have to test. A small flat with one fuse board is quick; a larger house with several circuits, or more than one consumer unit, takes longer, so it carries a higher price. Build the property size and board count into your quote rather than charging a flat fee, and you stop absorbing the heavy jobs.
Pick whether it is a flat or a house, set the number of bedrooms, how many consumer units it has, and how soon the caller needs it.

Quote = base price + property size + consumer units + urgency Pricing and winning EICR work
Price the job, not a flat fee
No two properties test the same. The number of circuits, how many consumer units there are, the age and condition of the wiring, and how soon the caller needs the visit all change how long the inspection takes - and inspection time is most of the cost. Charge one flat fee and the four-bed houses with old wiring quietly eat your margin. Price by size and board count and every job pays for the time it actually takes.
The job goes to the electrician who answers
Most people ringing round for an EICR call two or three electricians and book the first one who picks up and gives a clear price. If you are on a job and the phone rings out, that enquiry goes to the next number on the list. Hey Jodie answers every call 24/7 for trades, takes the property details and books the visit, so you win the work instead of missing it.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I charge for an EICR in the UK? +
As a rough market guide, an EICR runs roughly 150 to 350 for most homes. A small flat with one consumer unit sits at the lower end, while a larger house with several circuits, or an urgent booking, sits higher. The calculator above builds a range from a base inspection fee plus the property size, the number of consumer units and how soon the caller needs it. Enter the details to set a range for the specific job, then quote from there.
What should I factor into an EICR quote? +
Mainly the size of the property and how many circuits and consumer units have to be tested, because your cost is driven by inspection time. A larger house, an older installation, more than one fuse board, difficult access or an urgent next-day visit all push the price up. A small flat on a standard booking is the cheapest case. Price the heavier jobs accordingly so you are paid for the time they take.
How accurate is this pricing reference? +
It is a realistic ballpark built on current UK EICR price ranges, not a fixed rate card. It is good for quoting on the phone and for sense-checking your own prices against the wider market. The right price for any job depends on the actual property - the wiring condition, access and anything you find on the day - so treat the range as a starting point and adjust for what you see.
How do I quote a caller quickly? +
Take the property details on the call - flat or house, number of bedrooms, how many consumer units, and how soon they need it - drop them into the calculator, and read off a range you can give there and then. Quoting on the first call is how you win the job before they ring the next electrician. Download the one-page PDF and send it across to confirm.
How often do customers need an EICR? +
For a rented home in England, landlords must have an EICR carried out at least every five years and give tenants a copy, so rental properties are a recurring source of work. Owner-occupiers are advised to get one at least every ten years, or when buying a property or having major electrical work done. Note a recommended retest date on the report and you build in the next booking.
How do I stop losing EICR jobs to missed calls? +
Most EICR enquiries go to the first electrician who answers and gives a price, and you cannot pick up while you are testing a board. Hey Jodie answers every call 24/7 for trades, captures the property details and books the visit, so the work comes to you instead of the next number on the list.
