## EICR price questions

### How much does EICR cost in Colliers Wood?

Bello Electrics Ltd charges £160 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

### What is the difference between an EICR and an electrical survey?

An electrical installation condition report, or EICR, is the formal technical document produced following full inspection and testing of the fixed wiring. Homebuyers often refer to this process as a pre-purchase electrical survey, but both terms describe the same in-depth assessment of the property's circuits and distribution equipment.

### How long does an electrical inspection take?

A typical domestic inspection takes between two and four hours, depending on the size of the home, the number of circuits wired into the consumer unit, and how easily points can be accessed. Larger properties or installations with multiple sub-boards require additional time to complete all instrument tests.

### What happens if an installation receives an unsatisfactory result?

An unsatisfactory report means the testing identified issues categorised as either dangerous or potentially dangerous. Landlords have a statutory duty to carry out the required investigative or remedial work within twenty-eight days, or sooner if specified in the report, to achieve compliance.

### Do you need to lift floorboards during the survey?

Standard condition reporting is non-destructive. We inspect accessible fittings, open selected sockets, light switches, and the consumer unit, and test cabling using calibrated instruments. Floorboards are not lifted and walls are not opened unless specific arrangements are made in advance.
