Cheers guys.  You've all given me something to think about. I've put in a day rate and an estimated number of days.  Slightly higher rate than normal but I do think it'll be a can of worms.  If I get the work I'll report back with my findings, if anyone is interested. 👍  Thanks again.  Neil. 

Phoenix, thanks for that. Some good advice there pal.  Special Location, yes your right, I'm assuming the labelling is correct.... My first mistake. 😁  Previous inspection label is from a local firm so not sure why they aren't using the same.  Yes, definitely a full day just checking each...

To be fair, the circuits look fairly well segregated and well labelled in the dbs. No labels on accessories though. And most circuits would appear to be radials so may not be too bad.  I will take on board your point about quoting for mapping if needed then separately for i&t.  I'll update...

Murdoch, no not VAT reg.  Working alone and if I need to map it, it's a fair size so probably days.....  I understand what your saying about location. I'd probably want to charge per circuit over day rate. It is a big unknown really... 

Hi Guys, Just wondering how people charge for EICR's? I've seen one post mention a 'Day Rate' and estimate of number of days. Is this the general feeling? Or does anybody charge per circuit? I mainly deal with domestics but have been asked to do a local Conservative Club, it has an attached...

Murdoch, How do you go on if you find a fault with the wiring after your alteration? In the past I've put them right at my own cost just to save the customer moaning or refusing to pay up. Thats why I ask what tests other s do before starting. Sharpend,  Ideally I'd do a full set so I can...

Thanks Murdoch.  What prework tests would you do on an older ring or radial at a domestic before doing the actual job?  Like adding a couple of sockets etc.... 

Hi Sharpend.  I'm a maintenance tech at a distribution centre and self employed on the side.  Nvq3, 2391 , am2, 18th Ed, but always tried to stick with rewires on domestic because every man and his dog have usually had a go at older installs.  That said, I can't keep turning work down because...

Thanks for the replies Andy, Murdoch. I'm keen to know how other lads work. I don't want to be the last person to work on a circuit then be liable for it and any pre-existing faults. At what point do you start to do a full set of tests and document it? I met a spark that worked for PHS and...

Hi all, How do other sparks go about performing new works on an existing install such as a new ring or even just a minor works? Do you insist on an EICR before starting on anything new? I'm losing work because people aren't interested in an EICR for the sake of a new light fitting going up...

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself and if you haven't already guessed, I'm Neil. Looking forward to picking your brains..... Cheers. Neil.
