Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate on Change of Tenancy

It is recommended by the NAPIT and the Institute of Engineering and Technology that a further check takes place between tenancies.

Common Electrical Questions (FAQ Schema)

  • . How much does an EICR cost in Leicester for 2026?

    In 2026, a domestic EICR (Electrical Safety Certificate) in Leicester typically costs between £140 and £180 for standard residential properties. Prices vary based on the size of the home and the number of circuits being tested. At 786 Electricals, we offer fixed pricing starting at £140 for 1-bedroom flats.

  • Are landlords legally required to have an EICR every 5 years?

    Yes, under UK law, landlords must ensure an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is carried out at least every five years or at the start of every new tenancy. Failure to provide a valid certificate can result in significant local authority fines. We provide fully compliant landlord safety certificates across Leicestershire.

  • What is the hourly rate for a local electrician in Leicester?

    The average hourly rate for a local electrician in Leicester is approximately £75 per hour for standard daytime repairs. Emergency call-outs or specialized fault-finding typically range from £85 to £120 per hour. 786 Electricals provides transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden travel fees for local residents.

  • How long does a domestic EICR inspection take to complete?

    A standard domestic EICR inspection in a 2-3 bedroom house usually takes between 2 to 4 hours. The time depends on the complexity of the wiring and the accessibility of the consumer unit. Once completed, your digital PDF certificate is typically issued within 24–48 hours.

  • Do you charge a call-out fee for electrical emergencies in Leicestershire?

    While we do not charge a separate "travel fee," we do have a minimum charge of one hour (£75) for all attending visits. This ensures we can provide a qualified, NAPIT-approved electrician to diagnose and secure your electrical fault immediately, anywhere in Leicester or the surrounding areas.
