Interesting and wholly valid comments.
How much do you charge for a 10% limited EICR with the reference of available previous certificates or reports?
I've recently had some work done at my house and was given a bill of exactly £500 (exactly). I've no idea of the cost of electrical work but this is what he did:
Does the price seem reasonable?
Work carried out on behalf of LL
Attend to corrective measures from periodic inspection:
Replace consumer unit with RCD 10 way Board
Isolate and blank 2 gang socket in kitchen next to cooker
Provide 2 gang socket under counter for appliances
Make safe old connections to water heater in bedroom cupboard
Clip 6mm cable hanging loose in conservatory
Install 10mm bonding cable to both gas and water services
The problem is no one polices the electrical industry. I would prefer to see random checks on EICR reports by an independent body. When there is no policing then you get anarchy like we have at the moment. I would say three fake EICR reports and you should be struck off from being an electrician. It's the only way to sort this out. But I can't see it as the scheme's make money by having more members, it's not in their interests to raise quality so the EICR will remain pretty much worthless.

i dont give a damn anymore. had 3 calls last week for landlord safety certificate/periodic. thats how them customers call it.
3 and 4 bedroom houses.
quoted £100 each.
no one called back. one was saying that another quote was £60. i said call and book them. looks like they did.
no other calls this week been sitting lazy
Nothing wrong with fair competition, just not fair on the public if an unskilled man carries out works to their properties and he gets the ideas of cost from here, we won't agree obviouly as your talking about one thing and me another, the thread has now got around to slating a mans opinion when I thought we were discussing not allowing browsers from seeing prices, the threads all over the place now haha, anyway have a good day and enjoy your weekend.
I have just come away from a potential customer who has been asked for 650.00 to do an EICR 5 bedrooms but three consumer units. 9 year old property 3 floors. no loft space.
They were also quoted 3000.00 to change the consumer units.
May be it was the rolls parked on the front or my prices are to low
