EICR Remedial Works

EICR Remedial Works and Repairs

If your EICR identifies defects or further investigation, Trade Facilities Services can discuss the report with you and quote for the electrical work required in London and Essex. The report’s observations, classification codes and any stated timescales should guide the next steps.

Send us the full report, property postcode and access details when requesting a quote. We will review the stated scope, explain the proposed work and agree the price and appointment. Further investigation may be needed before the full remedial scope can be confirmed.

We do not assume that every observation requires the same repair or promise that a report will become satisfactory without assessing the findings. If you have not yet arranged an inspection, see our EICR service.

How do I know if my report recommends remedial work?

Once you have received your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), under the OBSERVATIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS section of your report, it may contain one or more of the following codes:

Code C1 Fault

This means that there is an immediate danger and requires urgent attention and repair as soon as possible

Code C2 Fault

This means there is a potential danger and is in an unsatisfactory condition which requires attention

Code C3 Fault

This means that a fault has been observed and there are recommended improvements that can be made

Further Investigation Required without delay

Depending on Engineer’s observations, your EICR will either be “SATISFACTORY” or “UNSATISFACTORY”. If your EICR is UNSATISFACTORY, it means the electrical installation has a high risk of danger to yourself, tenants or your employees. It is vital that these issues are resolved. Until the remedial work is completed, your installation will not be compliant with Health and Safety regulations and legislation.

Follow the urgency and timescales stated in your report and seek advice promptly if a hazard or further investigation is identified. Confirm the required response with the inspecting electrician and agree an appointment that reflects the urgency identified.

Ask us to explain the proposed remedial scope, access arrangements and documentation for the work. For rented properties in England, consult the current government electrical safety guidance alongside the findings in your report.

Do I need a new EICR after remedial work?

No. When you have the remedial work undertaken, ensure that all the certification is present and keep this with the existing Electrical Installation Condition report EICR. It is essential to have allthe documentation in the same place so that you provide evidence in the event of you needing to prove that all of the remedial work has been undertaken to demonstrate the installation’s electrical safety compliance.
