EICR in Banbury - FAQs
How much does an EICR cost?
For an EICR in Banbury, our prices start from £120 for a flat or 1-bed property, £170 for a 2-3 bedroom house and £225 for a 4-5 bedroom house. AmpWell is NICEIC-registered, fully insured and there is no call-out charge.
How long does an EICR last?
For rental properties, a landlord electrical safety certificate is usually valid for up to 5 years, unless the report recommends an earlier retest. For homeowners in Banbury, the timescale can vary depending on the age and condition of the installation, how the property is used and any previous findings.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. Landlords must have the electrical installation in a rented property inspected and tested at the required intervals and provide a valid landlord electrical safety certificate. If you let a property in Banbury or the nearby villages, an EICR helps show the installation has been checked by a competent electrician.
What happens if my EICR fails?
An EICR does not pass or fail in the same way as a simple checklist. The report records observations and gives codes for any issues found. If urgent or potentially dangerous items are identified, we will explain them clearly and prioritise the remedial work, so you understand what needs attention before an electrical safety certificate can be considered satisfactory.
How long does an EICR take?
The time needed depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits and the condition of the installation. A flat or small Banbury home is usually quicker than a larger 4-5 bedroom house. We will give you a sensible time estimate when you book and carry out the testing carefully rather than rushing the report.
