Questions we get asked most
Straight answers on cost, regulations and timescales.
How much does an EICR cost in London?
Price depends on the number of circuits and the size of the property. A one or two bedroom flat is at the lower end, a large house with multiple consumer units at the higher end. We quote a fixed price once you tell us the property type and circuit count, and the report is issued as a digital certificate within 24 hours of the inspection.
Do landlords in England legally need an EICR?
Yes. Since the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations came into force, landlords in England must have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, give the tenant a copy of the report, and remedy any C1, C2 or FI findings within 28 days.
Does a fuse board upgrade need Building Control notification?
Yes. Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a registered contractor we self-certify the work and notify Building Control on your behalf, then send you the compliance certificate. There is nothing for you to file.
How long does it take to rewire a house?
A typical three bedroom house takes five to ten working days depending on access, whether floors can be lifted, and how much making good is needed. A single flat is often three to five days. We give you a day-by-day plan with the quote so you know which rooms are affected when.
Can you install an EV charger at my property?
Yes, for houses with off-street parking and for commercial car parks. We check your incoming supply capacity and earthing arrangement first, since some properties need a load assessment or a supply upgrade before a charge point can be fitted safely.
