[QUOTE="champagnecharly, post: 546500, member: 36302"] Just wondering what cost one should have expect for an EICR or PIR in 2021. Looking through maintenance history I noted PIR for a 2 up 2 down in the SE at £613. Along with the inspection the following works were carried out: Doubled up circuit breaker c2 fitted 1 mcb wrong smoke detectors (x3) changed on test CO detector (x1) fitted on test Open continuity on ring: fault found and rectified. The extent and limitations were as follows: only 25% of installation was tested. guidance 3.8.2 note 3 No lifting floorboards ( i get that) no inspection in loft Or cables within fabric of building Insulation resistance test carried out by testing live and neutral due to "vulnerable loads" Heating controls not tested. Only accessible points tested. Bearing in mind the works done and that only 25% of installation was tested. IS £613 reasonable money? Or for that kind of $ would you expect something more thorough e.g. loft space etc. Note the extent and limitations are the same no matter if the property is void or occupied however i believe at the time it was ocupied.
