About EICR
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the formal inspection and testing process that grades the condition of fixed wiring against BS 7671. iComply delivers thorough EICRs for rental stock, workplaces and managed portfolios so you hold current evidence of electrical safety. The only published EICR list price is £249 for a typical 6-bed hmo in the north west (code ELEC-EICR-6BED-NW), per property, all-in. iComply is not VAT registered, so VAT is not added. Remedials and parts are quoted after the inspection and are not included. A 1-bed, any other domestic size, and every commercial EICR are price on application.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report, the EICR, is the inspection and test of the fixed wiring: consumer unit, circuits, and the accessories that form part of the installation. It is not a portable appliance test and it is not a gas record. iComply carries out EICRs for landlords, agents and commercial occupiers from 17 Woodlands Park Road, Offerton, Stockport, Cheshire SK2 5DE. The quote is price on application once we know the boards, the property type and the access. There is no per-circuit menu on this page.
In England, private landlords of relevant homes generally need the installation inspected and tested on the cycle set out in the electrical safety standards and the current GOV.UK guidance. Five years is the figure people repeat. The report itself can demand a shorter interval, and a change of tenancy can bring the date forward. This page is not legal advice. Read the current guidance for the dwelling you actually let. HMOs can have licence conditions on top. Check the council as well as the statute.
The visit opens the distribution board, samples or tests circuits as the inspection requires, and records observations with the usual codes: C1 for danger present, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, and FI where further investigation is required. A satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome is the report’s conclusion, not a sticker we choose. We explain the codes in plain English so an agent can see what must be done and what is advisory.
Access is the part that makes or breaks the appointment. We need the board, the rooms the circuits serve, and enough time to isolate where isolation is required. Tenants should know we are coming. Commercial sites should say which boards cannot be switched off during trading. If a board is buried in a locked shopfront or a locked bedroom, the limitation goes on the report. We do not write a satisfactory outcome for circuits we could not see.
Remedial work is a separate instruction. An unsatisfactory report is not, by itself, the repair. We can quote the C1 and C2 items, and the further investigation, after the report exists. Some items are done on a return visit once parts arrive; others need a second access. Price on application. We do not sell a pass. A retest covers what was repaired, and the paperwork should show that, not a silent edit of the first PDF.
Consumer unit condition, earthing, bonding, and obvious thermal damage are part of what the inspector is there to see. We do not upgrade a board because it is old if the report does not require it. We also do not ignore a cracked enclosure or a board with signs of overheating because a landlord hoped for a one-line satisfactory. The observation is written. The quote for work comes after.
Portfolios are booked as a list, not as a discount slogan. Each address still has its own board and its own access. An agent can send postcodes, last report dates and key details. We schedule against the diary from Stockport. Combining an EICR with other compliance on the scheduled is discussed when you ask. It is not assumed, and it does not change the electrical scope.
The pack you receive is the report, the schedules, and a short note of what we could not access. Digital copies suit most agents. Keep them with the tenancy file. The next due date is the one the report states, not a reminder we invent in a marketing email. If you want a diary note from us as well, ask for it.
Send the postcode, house or flat or commercial, how many boards you know about, and the last EICR date if you have it. Manchester terraces, Stockport semis, Bolton mills, Salford apartments and Wigan estates are all attended from the same base. Call 07517806082. The contact form takes the same facts.
We will not issue a satisfactory report to win a renewal, we will not test only the kitchen and call it the installation, and we will not quote a made-up call-out fee. The EICR is price on application after scope. Landlord gas safety, where it applies, is a different trade: Landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) are carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. iComply is not Gas Safe registered.
On a EICR quote the useful detail is the checklist, not a slogan. We confirm each of these before the written price: dwelling or commercial, stated up front. how many boards you know about. access to the rooms the circuits serve. C1, C2, C3 and FI written as themselves. limitations where we could not look. remedials quoted after the report, not instead of it. no PAT items slipped in unless you asked. the next date taken from the report. If one of those items is unknown, the quote says it is unknown. We do not smooth the gap so the email looks finished.
What we will not do on EICR is issue a satisfactory outcome for circuits we did not see, or publish a per-circuit fee. The written scope names the address, the person instructing iComply, and the limit of the visit. Travel from 17 Woodlands Park Road, Offerton, Stockport, Cheshire SK2 5DE is inside the price on application, not a line added after you have said yes. Call 07517806082 or use the contact form. Ask for EICR and give the postcode first. Attach photos of the existing equipment when you have them. We confirm the visit in writing before anyone is dispatched from Offerton. If the building is occupied, name the person who can open the doors. The figure remains price on application after that scope. We would rather ask one more question than attend and find the brief was a different job. Say if a previous visit left anything isolated, bridged or unfinished. Related hubs stay linked from the page that renders this copy. Until the scope is agreed there is no fee to publish and no fee to invent.

EICR FAQ
How often should an EICR be completed?+
Private rented homes typically need a report at least every five years or on change of tenancy where required. Commercial intervals depend on risk, use and previous report recommendations.
What if the EICR is unsatisfactory?+
Dangerous or potentially dangerous codes need prompt remedial work. We can price and complete repairs, then retest affected circuits so your paperwork reflects a safe installation.
Will tenants need to be present?+
Access to all areas with electrical equipment is required. We schedule around occupancy and provide clear arrival windows to reduce missed appointments.
What is the EICR list price?+
The only published EICR list price is £249 for a typical 6-bed hmo in the north west (code ELEC-EICR-6BED-NW), per property, all-in. iComply is not VAT registered, so VAT is not added. Remedials and parts are quoted after the inspection and are not included. A 1-bed, any other domestic size, and every commercial EICR are price on application. We confirm it still applies to your property before you are booked.
