Wondering how much an EICR costs in Blackpool? We break down EICR prices for 1-bed flats to 5-bed houses, plus what affects the cost and how to get the best value.
EICR Prices in Blackpool: What to Expect in 2025
An EICR in Blackpool typically costs between £120 and £300 depending on the size of your property. A 1-bedroom flat starts at around £120, a 2-bedroom house is £150–£180, a 3-bedroom semi-detached is £180–£220, and larger 4–5 bedroom properties range from £250–£300. These prices include the full inspection, testing of all circuits, and a digital certificate delivered within 24 hours.
What Affects the Cost of an EICR?
Several factors influence the final price. The number of circuits is the biggest factor — each circuit must be individually tested. Older properties with outdated fuse boards, surface wiring, or hard-to-access consumer units take longer to inspect. Commercial EICRs cost more than domestic ones due to the complexity of three-phase systems and higher circuit counts. HMO properties also require more thorough testing across multiple dwellings.
Is a Cheap EICR Worth the Risk?
Be cautious of electricians offering EICRs for under £100. A proper EICR takes 2–4 hours for a typical home, involves testing every circuit with calibrated equipment, and requires detailed documentation. Cut-price reports often skip tests, use uncalibrated equipment, or provide vague findings that won't satisfy your letting agent, insurer, or local council. Always choose a NAPIT-registered electrician who provides a detailed, coded report with photographic evidence.
EICR Remedial Work Costs
If your property fails the EICR with C1 or C2 codes, remedial work is legally required. Common fixes include replacing an old fuse board (£350–£600), adding RCD protection (£80–£150 per circuit), upgrading earthing and bonding (£120–£200), and replacing damaged accessories (£15–£40 each). ESI Electrical offers a combined EICR + remedial package that can save you money compared to booking separate visits.
