[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 522855, member: 250"] You don't actually say if you have paid anything yet? If so far you have paid nothing.... I would just start again with a more professional contractor... As Andy points out there is no such thing as a standard off-the-shelf EICR.. AND before commencing the extent of the installation to be inspected should be agreed between contractor and client.. 1hours and 40minuits is not enough time to do a reasonable inspection & test on an average domestic property.. UNLESS.. it was just a Visual inspection that you requested?? On the details given so far it does sound as though you may have employed some less competent persons.. Did they arrive on horseback by any chance??? OR.. if you did have copies of previous electrical certificates that can speed things up a bit... But still I'd be saying to prospective customers expect between half a day to a full days labour depending upon what is or isn't found Even this general guidance factsheet suggests 3-4 hours.. depending upon the size of property..
