Remedial cost
What affects the cost of remedial work after an unsatisfactory EICR?
A repair price comes from the findings and the work, not from the word unsatisfactory. This page explains that difference. It does not show a sample bill.
Reviewed 6 October 2026 by Michael (Technical Supervisor) and George Opsenica (Director, Codeex Maintenance Ltd). General guidance, not a reading of your own report and not legal advice.

What this page is not
This page is not a customer case, not an invoice, and not a completed job.
The inspection price and the remedial price are different questions. This page lists neither.
Why unsatisfactory is not enough
The word unsatisfactory does not state the repair, and it does not state a price.
The observations on the report decide what work is being asked about. Two unsatisfactory reports can describe different work.
C1, C2, C3 and FI are not price bands. No code on this page has a fixed remedial price.
What a code does not decide
An unsatisfactory report does not, by itself, mean the consumer unit has to be replaced.
An improvement recommendation does not, by itself, set a mandatory repair or a price.
Where an observation is further investigation, that item has not yet been classified, so a firm remedial price for it is not available from the code alone.
| Finding | What it does not settle |
|---|---|
| Unsatisfactory | Not the repair, and not a price |
| C3 | Not a mandatory repair, and not a price |
| Further investigation | Not a firm price for that item |
| The consumer unit | Not an automatic replacement |
What a quotation needs
The report's observations
The observations on the report decide what work is being asked about. Two unsatisfactory reports can describe different work.
Access and what must stay on
Say which boards can be opened and which supplies have to stay on. That is part of the quotation, not a price.
A separate remedial quotation
A remedial quotation is prepared from the observations and the access. It is not included in the inspection price.
After the work
The paperwork after the repair depends on the work that was done. Paying for the repair does not by itself rewrite the original report.
Use the remedial-work service for repair quotations and next steps. See the EICR cost guide for inspection prices. This guide explains the information needed before a repair price can be confirmed.
