WhatsAppHow much does a minor works certificate cost?
Minor works certification from TMB Electrics starts at £80. That price is for the tests and the certificate, not the fitting of the socket, light or switch. Book Now and the written price for the whole job is set out before work starts.
What is a minor works certificate?
It is the written record for a small addition or alteration on an existing circuit. TMB Electrics uses it when the job does not include a new circuit. You keep the document with the electrical records for the property.
Do I need a certificate for a new socket?
Yes, when the socket is added to a circuit that already exists. TMB Electrics tests that circuit and issues the certificate from £80. A brand new circuit from the fuse board needs an electrical installation certificate instead.
Is a minor works certificate the same as an EICR?
No. An EICR is an electrical installation condition report that inspects the whole installation. A minor works certificate only records the small change just made. TMB Electrics prices a domestic or commercial EICR from £150 if you need that inspection as well.
Does a new circuit need a minor works certificate?
No. A new circuit from the fuse board needs an electrical installation certificate. TMB Electrics uses a minor works certificate only when the existing circuit is altered. Rewiring and new circuit runs start from £1,800.
