How Much Does an EICR Cost in Glasgow?

EICR pricing varies more than people expect, and the honest reason isn't inconsistent electricians — it's that the number of circuits in a property, not just its size, is what actually determines how long the inspection takes.

Here's a realistic breakdown of what drives the cost.

Typical starting price

For a standard flat or smaller property, EICR pricing typically starts from around £200 excluding VAT. Larger homes with more circuits, more bedrooms, and more sockets and fixed appliances will cost more, since there's simply more to test.

What actually drives the price up

Circuit count is the biggest factor — a property with a straightforward single consumer unit and a handful of circuits is quicker to test than one with an extension, outbuilding, or multiple consumer units feeding different parts of the property. Access difficulty and the age of the installation also play a role, since older or poorly documented wiring can take longer to test and interpret properly.

Commercial EICR pricing

Commercial and industrial premises are priced individually rather than against a standard domestic range, since the size and complexity of installations varies hugely — from a single small retail unit to a multi-circuit warehouse. We'll always survey or discuss the property properly before quoting rather than guessing from a generic price list.

What should be included in the price

A proper EICR quote should include the full inspection and testing, the written report itself, and a clear explanation of any findings — not just the site visit with the report as a costly add-on. Ask directly what's included before booking if a quote doesn't make this clear.
