periodic testing

[rdelectrical]

hi can anyone tell me what an average price for a periodic test would be cheers everyone

 

[sparky1502]

£120 in the wigan liverpool area

Depends where you are, the size of the property and the number of circuits/CU's

 

[Dan23584]

Around £120 in Bristol area for domestic install comprising of up to 8 circuits. Obviously expect additional cost if there as any remedial action required.

And whether the cheap PIR's are worth the paper they're written on!

 

[Richard Burns]

HA Ha! It varies so much depending on the company; look for threads on here about cost of PIRs (or EICRs).

Depends also on the size and condition of the house / industrial unit / shop.
All have different needs. a general idea is £10-£25 per circuit but it is too variable to call.

£10.00 per circuit - definitely not worth the paper its written on IMHO

Say a three bed property has 5 circuits (2 x lights, 2 x rings & 1 x radial)

5 x £10 = £50
5 x £25 = £125

£125 looks more enticing to me. Having said this, I have seen some electricians' websites quoting £80 for upto 10 circuits and I guess it's only visual inspection.

 

[dingledong]

near me is a polish company they charge £75

 

[telectrix]

but they're happy with £10/hour.

 

[netblindpaul]

About £3k probably for the majority of those I get involved in as an average!

3 flats, 2 hours each - what were they? bedsits?

Measure Ze & PFC, do a visual observation and some guess work, voila, PIR is done.
