EICR cost Birmingham & West Midlands — honest £150 (typical 3-bed)

Looking up “EICR cost Birmingham” usually means one thing: what will the certificate cost before a tenancy, sale or licence deadline.

At Westinghouse Electrical Testing (9 Tetley Road, Birmingham B11 3BU) a typical 3-bedroom EICR is £150. In most cases you get the report the same day.

No “from 89” bait. Remedials are separate.

What’s included at £150

A full Electrical Installation Condition Report to current UK wiring practice (BS 7671). Clear coding and a report PDF the same day in most cases.

When £150 applies — and what costs more

£150 applies to a typical domestic 3-bed with one consumer unit and normal access. Larger homes, flats with shared risers, HMOs, commercial jobs or limited access are quoted plainly before booking. Fire check £75, emergency lighting £75, or fire + EL bundle £150. See landlord & HMO compliance.

Landlord rules in plain English

For private rented homes in England, you need a valid EICR at least every 5 years (or sooner if the report says). New tenancies need a valid report when the old one has run out. Westinghouse often books sooner when landlords or agents have a tenancy or licence deadline.
