EICR Electrical Safety

Why Your EICR is More Than Just a Certificate For homeowners and landlords across Leicester and Leicestershire, ensuring the safety of your electrical installations is paramount.


An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), often referred to as an electrical certificate, is not just a legal requirement for landlords; it is a vital health check for your property’s wiring system. At 786 Electricals, we are committed to providing comprehensive, transparent, and affordable electrical inspection and testing services that keep your family and tenants safe.


Transparency and Value In a competitive market like Leicester, where prices for an EICR can vary significantly, we pride ourselves on offering clear, fixed pricing with no hidden costs.


Our goal is to make essential electrical safety accessible to everyone. Here is our transparent pricing structure for a full domestic EICR:

1 Bedroom Property: £140

2 Bedroom Property: £160

3 Bedroom Property: £180

4 Bedroom Property: £200


Note: Prices are for a standard domestic EICR and are fully inclusive.


Why Choose 786 Electricals?


When you compare our prices to other local providers, you'll find that 786 Electricals offers exceptional value. For example, some competitors charge upwards of £216 (including VAT) for a 1-bedroom EICR. By choosing 786 Electricals, you benefit from professional, certified service at a significantly lower cost, allowing you to save money without compromising on safety.


Essential Add-On Services While your EICR focuses on the fixed wiring of your property, it is the perfect time to address other critical safety systems.


We offer convenient and cost-effective add-on testing services to ensure every aspect of your electrical safety is covered.


  • PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing): £50 (Up to 5 portable electrical items)
  • Emergency Lighting System Testing: £50 (Up to 3 emergency light fittings)
  • Smoke/Heat Alarm Testing: £50 (Up to 4 smoke detector units, including heat alarms)


It is highly recommended to get your PAT testing done at the same time as your EICR. This ensures that all portable appliances—from kettles to extension leads—are also safe for use, providing complete peace of mind for landlords and homeowners.
