Hello all,
Just wanted to share an experience from today and see what others thought on this subject.
I managed to acquire some feedback from someone I provided a quote for yesterday - I asked why they had decided on another service and the answer was because they were £80 and I was £155.
The job was an EICR on a 60's (ish) 4 bed house in cardiff.
From my view point an EICR takes a full day to complete with the form writing and I charge a days rate of £155. If I were to charge £80 then this would only allow me roughly half a day and I don't believe you can do the job properly in half a day.
I test 100% of circuits, test resistance of bonding conductors and visually inspect as many accessories as I can fit in but not less than 50% I test every circuit individually for I.R and perform R1+R2 on every circuit.
Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the above and what other's experience is of the market place in terms of an EICR's value and what most other contractors offer.
Cheers,
Daniel
