Pricing Plan
At Landlord Certifications, our Commercial EICR pricing is transparent, predictable and based on the realities of your electrical installation, not guesswork. We assess the number and type of distribution boards, any three-phase plant, access constraints and operating hours, then provide an all-inclusive quote covering on-site testing with calibrated instruments, a coded report (C1/C2/C3/FI), photo evidence for key observations and clear next-step recommendations.
For multi-site portfolios, we group locations to reduce travel, arrange out-of-hours or phased attendance where continuity is critical, and issue a single consolidated invoice. There are no hidden extras – if anything could affect cost, we flag it before work begins. You get a fair, competitive price for rigorous Commercial EICR testing and documentation you can confidently show to insurers, landlords, managing agents and auditors.
UK health and safety law requires employers and those in control of premises to ensure electrical systems are designed, maintained and used so as to prevent danger. While legislation doesn’t name a single specific “EICR test” or fixed national interval, an Electrical Installation Condition Report is the recognised way to show that your fixed installation has been inspected by a competent person and is safe for continued service.
In most commercial environments, a maximum five-year interval (or inspection on change of occupancy or major alteration) is widely adopted, with harsher or safety-critical environments using shorter periods. Insurers frequently request a current EICR as part of policy terms, and many commercial leases reference it explicitly, so keeping an in-date report helps protect people, satisfy governance requirements and reduce exposure to enforcement or claim disputes.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document that confirms whether an electrical installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for continued use and records observations against BS 7671 using the standard codes: C1 (Danger Present), C2 (Potentially Dangerous), C3 (Improvement Recommended) and FI (Further Investigation). Unlike PAT testing, which applies to portable appliances, an EICR focuses on the fixed wiring distribution boards and protective devices, cables, containment, accessories and their protective measures.
It verifies that faults will disconnect quickly enough to prevent harm, that electric shock and fire risks are controlled, and that the installation is suitable for its environment and current usage. For duty-holders, it is the clearest single piece of evidence that their legal obligation to maintain safe electrical systems is being met in practice.
London’s mix of older buildings, refurbished offices and busy mixed-use spaces means electrical installations are often extended, altered and heavily loaded. That increases the risk of hidden faults, damaged cabling and overloaded circuits.
A Commercial EICR in London provides an independent, systematic check that earthing and bonding are intact, protective devices are correctly rated and set for the actual loads, and that equipment is suitable for its environment, whether that’s a server room, prep kitchen or exposed loading bay. For owners, landlords and managing agents, a current EICR supports lease obligations, strengthens insurance cover and reduces business interruption by catching issues early while they are still simple and affordable to fix.
EICR inspection frequency is ultimately a risk-based decision, guided by the age of the installation, its environment, loading, history of faults and any changes in use. As a benchmark, many commercial and managed premises follow a maximum five-year interval, while higher-risk areas such as hospitality spaces, workshops, external installations and wet environments sensibly adopt shorter periods because heat, moisture and movement accelerate deterioration.
Major alterations, electrical incidents or reports containing multiple C2 or FI items are clear triggers for earlier re-inspection. Your electrician will set a recommended retest date on the EICR based on the evidence on site, and it is good practice to review this date whenever occupancy, usage or load changes.
Commercial EICR testing doesn’t have to mean downtime or upset tenants. We plan inspections around your operations, agreeing access in advance, sequencing boards and areas so key equipment stays live wherever possible. For busy sites, we can work out-of-hours, in phases, or alongside your facilities team to avoid peak trading times and critical processes.
Our engineers arrive fully briefed with drawings, permits and RAMS, keep communication clear throughout the visit and flag any circuits that may require brief shutdowns before work begins. Where temporary isolation is unavoidable, we keep it short, controlled and well signposted. The result is a fully documented Commercial EICR completed with minimal disruption to staff, customers and building users.
We conduct a detailed, multi-stage assessment of your electrical installation, including:
Boards, terminations, labels, enclosures, signs of heat/damage, bonding
Earth fault loop (Zs), RCD/RCBO performance, disconnection times
overcurrent protection, phase balance (3-phase), environment suitability.
EICR with C1/C2/C3/FI codes, photos and circuit schedule updates.
Quoted fixes to bring the installation to standard.
A structured EICR cycle turns electrical safety from a reactive cost into a manageable programme. By combining testing windows that suit your trading hours with a prioritised remedial plan, you reduce disruption, smooth cash flow and keep boards, insurers, landlords and regulators confident the installation is being controlled competently.
Find and fix hazards early to protect people and property.
Demonstrate alignment with EAWR 1989 and BS 7671; satisfy insurers, landlords and managing agents.
Targeted remedials prevent bigger failures; improved efficiency extends asset life.
We then carry out a series of tests, including insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD trip time checks.
On completion of your Commercial EICR, you receive a signed digital EICR report (PDF) confirming whether the installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, with every observation clearly coded (C1, C2, C3, FI), supported by photographs and, where agreed, updated circuit schedules. We also provide a prioritised remedial quotation that separates urgent safety-critical actions from recommended improvements, so you can phase works sensibly and budget with confidence. All reports, certificates and remedial records are stored digitally for easy retrieval during audits, insurance renewals, compliance checks or when sharing evidence with landlords, managing agents and health & safety teams.
