Pricing Kitchen rewire and consumer unit upgrade with bonding and Cert

[Midwest]

Never charged for an EICR prior to doing a CU change. Tested the install prior to ripping the old CU out, but never done an EICR for reasonably priced domestic CU change.

Really ?

I have ............ seen a few awful sites where I've refused to give an CU change quote unless I'm allowed to do an EICR first ............

After the last one like this I told them not to bother with a new fuseboard and go for a rewire ............

Yep. Granted there have been a few I wouldn't/hadn't touched with a barge pole, but tell me for a standard 3 bed semi, you'll have charged £250ish for an EICR first, then £400ish for the CU change next? I should of moved down to Woking

How much would you charge for such in this type of scenario?

It was easy for me. If the job 'looked dodgy', I'd decline. If it was a straight forward vanilla flavoured job, I'd test before the day of removing CU, as part of my quotation for CU replacement. Any faults would be extra's.

So I've never charged for an EICR before a CU change.

What does a third party sign off mean ?

Inspected & tested by registered 3rd party electrician, installation carried out by another.
Not sure if it’s practice in Wales. Only two of the schemes are registered, Napit being one of them. Specific procedure to be followed, apparently.
