EICR & Electrical Safety Certificates in London
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) records the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation. AC Kinetic is a NICEIC-approved contractor carrying out inspections for landlords, homeowners, managing agents and businesses across London. We explain the findings and quote remedial work separately.

EICRs we have carried out in London
In the last two months we have carried out landlord and homeowner EICRs across north-west and west London: on Harrow Road and Hormead Road in W9, Maygrove Road in NW6, Enbrook Street in W10, Oakwood Court in W14, and a commercial inspection on Blandford Street in Marylebone, collecting keys from the letting agent.
Many of these lead to remedial work that we quote separately once you have the report: for example, after the Maygrove Road, Enbrook Street, Hormead Road and Oakwood Court inspections we returned to complete the remedials so the installation could be reported satisfactory. Landlords often book us again when the next report is due.
The price is the same every time: £200 + VAT for one board with up to eight circuits, and £25 + VAT for each extra circuit.

What an EICR covers
Our engineers inspect and test the installation within the agreed scope and record any limitations — consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, protective devices and earthing/bonding — against the requirements of BS 7671 (18th Edition). You receive a full report coding each observation C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation), with a clear summary of anything that needs remedial work.
Landlord legal obligations
Private landlords covered by the rules in England must arrange inspection at least every five years, follow any shorter interval in the report, give tenants the report and complete required follow-up work by the applicable deadline. We provide clear reports and quote separately for follow-up work.
For landlords and letting agents we also offer a landlord safety bundle: the domestic EICR plus a check of the existing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms at the same visit, for £288 including VAT (£240 + VAT).
Domestic & commercial EICRs
We inspect domestic and commercial electrical installations, with the scope agreed for the particular property. Tell us about multiple boards, occupied rooms, essential equipment and access restrictions. We confirm appointment availability and report arrangements when booking.
Planning your inspection
What is included?
Inspection and testing of the fixed installation within the agreed scope, followed by an Electrical Installation Condition Report. An EICR records findings; an inspection does not include unlimited repairs or guarantee a satisfactory result.
What affects the price?
Domestic EICRs are £240 including VAT (£200 excluding VAT), and commercial EICRs are £360 including VAT (£300 excluding VAT), each for one board with up to 8 circuits. Additional circuits cost £30 domestic or £48 commercial including VAT. Further boards and out-of-hours or express inspections require an agreed scope and price. Remedial work is separate.
Before we arrive
Arrange access to the consumer unit, rooms and electrical accessories. Tell us about sensitive equipment, tenants and any circuits that cannot be switched off. Testing requires planned interruptions to the electricity supply.
After the inspection
We explain the report and any required next steps. Remedial work is quoted separately. Keep the report together with any subsequent certificates or written confirmation of remedial work.
