London EICR & Fixed Wire Testing FAQs
How often do I need an EICR in London?
For most commercial properties in London, an EICR is required at least every 5 years. For rental properties, it is a legal requirement to have a valid EICR at the start of any new tenancy and to renew it every 5 years. High-use environments like industrial sites may require testing more frequently (e.g., every 3 years).
How much does an EICR cost in London?
The cost of an EICR in London depends on the size of your property and the number of circuits that need to be tested. We provide a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden extras.
