An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a periodic inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a building — distribution boards, circuits, sockets, switches and protective devices. Commercial premises require an EICR every five years to demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and most insurers and landlords now treat a current EICR as a condition of cover.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a periodic inspection of the fixed electrical installation in your premises. RiskSorted electricians are JIB or Part P registered and code their findings strictly to BS 7671. Full certificates are stored in your account with renewal reminders ahead of expiry.
Visual inspection and dead/live testing of all circuits, distribution boards and protective devices. Coding of any defects to C1, C2, C3 or FI.
Full EICR certificate listing all circuits tested, observations and codes, overall satisfactory or unsatisfactory rating, next inspection date.
An EICR is priced on circuits, not floor area. £395 covers the first 20 circuits, then £17.99 for each one after that.
| Up to 20 circuits | £395 |
| Each additional circuit | £17.99 |
| Typical 34-circuit office | £646.86 |
A circuit is a single way on your distribution board — one row on the fuse board. Most small offices run 12 to 24. You do not need to know the answer precisely to book: give us your best estimate and the engineer confirms it on the day.
The questions we ask. We ask roughly how many circuits are on your board. Open the board, count the switches, tell us the number. That is the whole question.
Jobs starting outside Monday to Friday, 7am to 2pm carry a 50% uplift. It is the start time that counts, not the finish — a job starting at 1pm and running to 6pm is charged at the standard rate. All prices exclude VAT. RiskSorted is not currently VAT registered, so the price shown is the price you pay. The price you are shown before you pay is the price you pay — no callout fees, no mobilisation charges, no invoice arriving later with extras on it.
That is the whole point of RiskSorted, and it is measurable in three things.
You can see the price. Every price we charge is published on this website. You do not have to ring anyone, fill in a form, or wait for a callback to find out what something costs. If a compliance company will not tell you its prices until it has your phone number, ask yourself why.
We only ask questions you can answer. How many floors. How many appliances. When suits you. If an office manager or a business owner would not know the answer off the top of their head, we do not ask it — we work it out when we are on site. You should not need to understand BS 5839 categories or count luminaires to buy fire safety.
One company, one contract, one number. We are the contractor. We hold the contract with you, we set the price, and we stand behind the work. The engineer who attends is a vetted local specialist we have checked — qualifications, insurance, calibration — but they answer to us, not to you. If something goes wrong you ring us, not them.
You can price and book this online in about two minutes — start here. If you would rather talk it through, our assistant answers pricing and compliance questions on any page of this site, and it quotes the same prices you see above because it reads them from the same place.
This is the disruptive one, so it is worth knowing up front. Power goes off circuit by circuit, not all at once, and each circuit is down for roughly 5 to 15 minutes. If your board is labelled we can tell you what goes off when — so a row of desks or the kitchen is down for that window and no longer. The engineer works with you on the order of things. It is one day every few years.
We tell you this before you pay, not when the engineer is already on site. If the timing does not work for you, say so when you book — we ask what will not work rather than what you would prefer, so we can schedule around your business rather than the other way round.
