myEICR Certificate Cost Calculator
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is produced following a safety check of a property's electrical installation by an approved inspector. It's a legal requirement for landlords to obtain an EICR every 5 years, and a copy should be given to current tenants. For a full cost breakdown, see our EICR certificate cost guide.
Homeowners are not obliged by law to have this certificate, but an inspection is recommended at least every 10 years for safety reasons.
Use the EICR certificate cost calculator below to get an approximate price for your property based on its size, type, and location.

How to Use the EICR Certificate Cost Calculator
Our EICR certificate cost calculator gives you an instant estimate based on a few simple details:
- Property size and type, from a 1 bedroom house up to a 6+ bedroom house.
- How many circuits the property has.
- Your location in the UK.
Once you've entered these details, you'll get an estimated cost. This is a guide price only. An electrician will need to inspect your property to confirm an exact quote.
Average Cost of an EICR Certificate
EICR prices depend mainly on property size, ranging from around £80 for a 1 bedroom house up to £250+ for a large property. The table below gives a rough guide. Use the calculator above for an estimate tailored to your property.
| Property Size | Cost of EICR |
|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom House | £80–£100 |
| 2 to 3 Bedroom House | £120–£150 |
| 4 to 5 Bedroom House | £160–£200 |
| 6+ Bedroom House | £220–£250 |
Factors That Impact the EICR Certificate Costs Calculator Output
Several factors can influence the price of an EICR, including:
- Property size and type — Larger properties have more circuits and sockets to test.
- Accessibility — Where wiring or outlets are not readily accessible, the extra time taken to reach and test them will be charged by the inspecting electrician. Awkward spaces, heavy furniture blocking outlets, and limited loft access can impede the inspection, costing you more.
- Wiring age and condition — The electrician will make a note of the age of your electrical installation. Older wiring, outlets, and fuseboards need more careful examination, extending the time it takes for the inspection and thereby affecting the cost.
- Location — Labour rates vary across the UK, which is factored into the calculator above.
Additional Costs of an EICR
Remedial Work
Faults found as part of an EICR inspection are assigned a classification code. The codes are:
- C1 — There is a dangerous issue requiring immediate action.
- C2 — There are potentially dangerous faults requiring urgent remedial work.
- C3 — Improvement is recommended, but there is no imminent danger.
- F1 — Further investigation is needed.
Any remedial work will be an extra cost, and the extent of the necessary work will impact how much you pay.
New Consumer Unit/Fuse Box
A fusebox that is faulty or not up to regulation compliance standards needs to be replaced, adding a minimum of around £500 to the cost of your EICR certificate.
Rewiring
If the inspecting electrician finds that all or part of your electrical installation needs to be rewired, this will incur high costs. A partial rewire will be less expensive if only one circuit or area is affected. A full rewire costs around £3,000.
VAT or Certification Fees
Don't forget that you'll pay VAT at 20% on the cost of an EICR certificate. The cost of other certificates, such as a Part P, is most often included in an electrician's quoted price.
Tips to Get the Best EICR Price
- Get multiple quotes so you can compare prices for the same scope of work.
- Combine portable appliance testing (PAT) with your EICR visit to avoid a second call-out fee.
- Ask upfront whether the quote includes VAT and certification, so there are no surprises.
