- Number of circuits and distribution boards
- Premises type and access (occupied, retail hours, security)

- Out-of-hours working requirements
- Whether remedials are included or separate
- Parking/travel time and site logistics
How to compare and what to do next
Use these checks to compare fixed wire testing quotes more confidently before you make a decision.
- Ask for pricing based on circuit count (or provide a board photo and estimates)
- Confirm whether the quote includes the certificate/report and how quickly you will receive it
- Ask what is excluded (remedials, making good, access equipment) and how those are priced
- Confirm whether out-of-hours work is required and the uplift percentage
- Ask if they can combine EICR with PAT or emergency lighting testing for better value
Frequently asked questions
Common follow-up questions about pricing, timing and comparison checks.
Is fixed wire testing the same as an EICR?
Yes. Fixed wire testing is commonly delivered as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
Why do quotes differ so much?
Circuit count, access issues and installation age make a big difference. Commercial sites with multiple boards typically cost more.
Are remedials included?
Usually not. Many providers quote remedials separately after findings, though some offer bundled packages.
How can I reduce the cost?
Provide access to all areas, ensure boards are labelled, and book multiple properties together where possible.
