Remedial work for failed EICR certificates

Send every page of your EICR so we can review the observations and quote the relevant work. Completed repairs are tested and documented; any subsequent assessment depends on the findings and remaining issues.

We review the report and provide one quote for the agreed repair work, with VAT included. You can choose the work needed to address the unsatisfactory findings, or a wider scope that includes recommended improvements. Nothing starts until you agree.

• Small repairs, such as a damaged socket, a cracked accessory or a missing cover: from £150 + VAT (£180 inc VAT).
• Several items on one report: quoted as one visit, so you are not paying for repeat call-outs.
• Consumer unit (fuse board) replacement: from £975 + VAT (£1,170 inc VAT).
• Shops, offices, blocks and HMOs: quoted per site.

The inspection fee covers the testing and your report. Choosing us for repairs is optional, and repairs need a separate agreed quote. You may appoint another competent electrician; that choice does not remove any duty to address the report's safety findings.

An unsatisfactory EICR does not automatically mean a rewire or a new consumer unit. We review the recorded findings and explain the work proposed before you decide what goes ahead.

See how the paperwork can follow that process in our real inspection and follow-up examples: two original unsatisfactory assessments are paired with later satisfactory EICRs for the same installations.

For a specified tenancy in England, a report that indicates an actual or possible breach of the electrical safety standards and requires investigative or remedial work engages a separate landlord duty. Ensure that the required work is completed by a qualified person within 28 days of the inspection, or within any shorter period stated in the report. Obtain the qualified person's written confirmation and give it, with the relevant report, to the tenant and the local authority within 28 days of completion. Immediate danger needs an immediate safety response; a technical report label is not permission to delay.

• C1, danger present: needs making safe straight away. The electrician will usually make it safe on the day and record what was done.
• C2, potentially dangerous: must be fixed for the report to be satisfactory. Landlords have 28 days, or less if the report says so.
• FI, further investigation: something needs a closer look. Under the A4:2026 report format an FI does not by itself make the report unsatisfactory, but it should be investigated promptly.
• C3, improvement recommended: not required for a satisfactory result. We include these improvements in the repair scope only if you ask.

• The full EICR, every page, not just the summary. Clear photos of each page are fine.
• The property postcode and who will let the electrician in.
• Any deadline from your letting agent, lender or council.
• A photo of the fuse board if you have one. It helps us price consumer unit work accurately.

Remedial work, including a fuse-board or consumer-unit replacement, can require the power to be off for much longer than an EICR inspection. The duration depends on the accepted scope and site conditions. The electrician will discuss the expected shutdown before starting; inspection outage estimates do not apply to repair work.

Give us one reliable contact for access and tell us about keys, entry systems, parking or pets. We remind them the day before.

When the work is done you receive the right completion certificate for the job: a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for smaller repairs, or an Electrical Installation Certificate for bigger work such as a new consumer unit.

Replacing a consumer unit in a dwelling in England is notifiable Building Regulations work. The quotation should identify the electrical installation certification and the route for Building Regulations notification: through an appropriately registered installer or the applicable building-control route. Keep the electrical certificate and the Building Regulations compliance record; an EICR alone is not the installation certificate for the replacement.

Landlords in England must send written confirmation that the work is complete, with a copy of the report, to the tenant and the local council within 28 days of finishing it. Keep that certificate with the original report. A new full EICR is not normally needed.

You are free to use another contractor. A failed report does not tie you to the electrician who inspected. Compare our repair quote if you want to, and only go ahead if it suits you.

Is remedial work included in the inspection price? No. The inspection fee covers the report. Repairs are quoted separately. Choosing our repair service is optional; required safety work must still be arranged with a competent person.

Do I need a new EICR after repairs? The electrician tests the completed work and provides the paperwork appropriate to its scope. Keep that evidence with the original EICR. A further inspection or satisfactory assessment depends on the findings and any remaining issues; we agree any additional work separately.

How quickly can you do the work? We book repairs on weekdays, with evenings and weekends on request, and C1 dangers are treated as urgent.

Can you quote from another company's report? Yes. Send it over and we quote the agreed repair work in the same way.

Will the repairs make my next EICR pass? Fixing the listed items closes out this report. It does not guarantee a satisfactory outcome on a future inspection, because that checks the whole installation as it is then.

Upload your report using the form on this page, or WhatsApp it to us. We review the report, agree the repair scope and send your quote by email.
