EICR testing in Central Scotland typically costs £150 to £300 for a standard 2-3 bedroom property. The exact cost depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits, and the age of the electrical installation.
What is an EICR? — An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough inspection of your property's electrical system. It checks the condition of wiring, sockets, switches, the consumer unit, earthing, and bonding. The report classifies any issues found using a coding system (C1 = danger present, C2 = potentially dangerous, C3 = improvement recommended, FI = further investigation).
Who needs one:
- Landlords in Scotland — legally required every 5 years, and you must provide copies to tenants before they move in - Homeowners — recommended every 10 years, or when buying or selling a property - Commercial properties — every 3-5 years depending on use - Before a major renovation or extension
What happens if issues are found — We provide a clear, jargon-free report explaining exactly what needs attention and how urgent it is. If remedial work is needed, we quote for it separately. We do not pressure you into unnecessary upgrades.
How long does it take? — Typically 2-4 hours for a standard domestic property. Larger or older properties take longer due to the number of circuits and potential access issues.
