EICR Remedial Works London
If your EICR has come back as unsatisfactory, Safe Home London can help you deal with the faults clearly and safely. Our EICR remedial works service covers electrical defects marked as C1, C2 or FI, along with other repairs needed to improve the condition of your electrical installation. We work with landlords, homeowners, letting agents, property managers and businesses across London. The aim is simple: identify what needs attention, complete the correct repairs, test the work and provide the right electrical records when the job is finished. You do not always need a full rewire because an EICR has failed. In many properties, the problems can be corrected through targeted remedial work.

EICR Remedial Solutions for Unsatisfactory Electrical Reports
An unsatisfactory EICR means electrical safety issues have been identified and need the right action. The report uses classification codes to show which faults are urgent, which need repair and which may require further investigation. Our remedial work is based on the actual findings in your EICR. This may include repairing damaged accessories, correcting wiring faults, improving earthing or bonding, replacing unsuitable protective devices or carrying out further testing. Not every failed EICR requires major work. Where possible, we carry out targeted repairs to resolve the problem without unnecessary replacement. Once the work is complete, the affected areas are tested and the appropriate documentation is provided to confirm the remedial work carried out.
Electrical Problems Commonly Identified During an EICR
Every electrical installation is different. The age of the property, condition of the wiring and previous electrical work can all affect the EICR findings.
Consumer Unit and Distribution Board Defects: An EICR may find damaged parts, poor connections, overheating or unsuitable protective devices within the consumer unit. The repair depends on the fault, and full replacement is not always needed.
Main Protective Bonding Issues: Missing, damaged or inadequate earthing and bonding can increase electrical safety risks. Corrective work may be required to provide suitable protection.
Damaged Sockets, Switches and Electrical Accessories: Cracked sockets, loose switches and damaged accessories can create safety risks. These may need replacement, while signs of overheating may require further investigation.
Defective Lighting Circuits and Fixed Fittings: Faults may be found in lighting circuits, switches or fixed fittings. Repairs can include replacing damaged parts, correcting connections or repairing the circuit.
Faulty, Damaged or Deteriorated Wiring: Wiring can become damaged through age, heat or previous alterations. The affected section may need repair or replacement, but this does not always mean a full rewire.
Circuit Overloading and Protective Device Issues: Incorrectly rated protective devices or overloaded circuits may need further testing and correction to ensure the circuit is properly protected.
Insulation Resistance and Electrical Continuity Faults: Testing may reveal hidden wiring or continuity faults that cannot be seen visually. Further investigation may be needed to find the exact cause.
Electrical Defects Caused by Previous Alterations: Previous electrical changes may not always have been completed correctly. Remedial work can correct unsafe areas without replacing parts of the installation that remain suitable.
Older Installations That Require Targeted Safety Improvements: Older installations are not automatically unsafe. An EICR checks their current condition and identifies specific areas that may need repair or improvement.
Electrical Safety Standards and Compliance Requirements
EICR remedial work should improve the safety of the electrical installation and provide clear evidence that the required faults have been corrected. The work should be completed in line with the current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. Older electrical installations are not automatically unsafe, but any defects identified during the EICR should be properly assessed and repaired by a competent professional. For rented properties in England, required remedial or further investigative work must normally be completed within the period stated in the report or within 28 days, whichever is sooner. Any C1 defect should be made safe urgently because it indicates immediate danger. Landlords should also keep the original EICR together with the relevant remedial records and electrical certificates. These documents provide evidence that the required work has been completed and can be used for property compliance records.

Certification After EICR Remedial Works
After EICR remedial work is completed, the documents you receive will depend on the type of electrical work carried out. For minor alterations or additions to an existing circuit, a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate may be suitable. More substantial work, such as installing a new circuit, may require an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC). You may also receive written confirmation showing that the relevant C1, C2 or FI observations have been addressed, along with any required test results. The original EICR should normally be kept with the remedial documents. If a landlord, council or licensing authority specifically requires a new satisfactory EICR, a further inspection can be arranged. Landlords and managing agents should keep all EICR reports, remedial records and electrical certificates together as part of the property’s compliance records.
EICR Remedial Works for Different Property Types
EICR remedial work can be needed in many types of properties. The right approach depends on the condition of the installation, how the building is used and the faults listed in the report.
Landlords and Rental Properties: We help landlords deal with electrical faults identified during an EICR, including C1, C2 and FI observations. The work can be planned around tenant access, and the relevant remedial records can be provided for the property compliance file.
HMOs and Multi-Occupancy Properties: HMOs can place greater demand on electrical systems because of shared kitchens, multiple bedrooms and communal areas. Remedial work should be based on the actual EICR findings and the layout and use of the property.
Letting Agents and Property Managers: We support letting agents and property managers with EICR remedials for single properties, blocks and wider portfolios. Reports can be reviewed in advance so the required work can be organised clearly and efficiently.
Residential and Commercial Properties: Our EICR remedial service covers houses, flats, offices and other commercial premises across London. Work can range from small accessory repairs and protective device changes to circuit repairs, fault finding and more complex electrical remedial work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Quickly Should EICR Remedial Works Be Completed?
The urgency depends on the classification of the defect. C1 issues require immediate attention, while C2 defects should be repaired as soon as reasonably possible. For rented properties, any required remedial work should also be completed within the applicable legal timeframe.
How Much Do EICR Remedial Works Cost?
The cost depends on the number and type of defects identified in the report. Minor repairs may be relatively straightforward, while consumer unit, wiring, earthing or multiple circuit issues can require more extensive work.
Can You Give Me a Quote From My EICR Report?
Yes. Send us the full EICR report and we can review the observations, codes and required works before providing a quotation. In some cases, further investigation may be needed before the final repair cost can be confirmed.
Do I Need Another Full EICR After Remedial Works?
Not always. The requirement depends on the nature of the remedial work and the original report. The repaired circuits or affected parts of the installation should be tested, and suitable electrical documentation provided for the work completed.
What Happens After C1 or C2 Defects Are Repaired?
Once the required repairs are completed, the affected electrical work is tested to confirm that the identified safety issue has been addressed. Appropriate certification or written confirmation can then be provided depending on the work carried out.
Can You Complete Only the C1 and C2 Items on My EICR?
Yes. We can review the report and quote for the specific remedial items requiring attention. C3 recommendations can also be discussed separately if you would like to include them as part of the work.
Can EICR Remedial Work Be Done Without Replacing the Consumer Unit?
Yes, depending on the defect. A consumer unit does not automatically require replacement simply because an EICR is unsatisfactory. In some cases, individual protective devices, connections or other components can be repaired or upgraded.
What If the EICR Says Further Investigation Is Required?
Where further investigation is recorded, the affected circuit or issue may need additional testing before the correct repair can be confirmed. Once the cause is identified, we can advise on the appropriate remedial work.
Can You Carry Out Remedial Works From Another Company's EICR?
Yes. We can review and work from an EICR produced by another electrical contractor, provided the report contains enough information to identify the relevant defects and observations.
Will I Receive Proof That the EICR Remedial Work Has Been Completed?
Yes. Appropriate electrical documentation will be provided depending on the type of remedial work completed. This may include a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate, Electrical Installation Certificate or other suitable confirmation.
Can You Complete EICR Remedials for Rental Properties?
Yes. We provide landlord EICR remedial works in London for flats, houses, HMOs and other rental properties. We can also coordinate access with tenants, letting agents or property managers.
Can Commercial EICR Remedial Works Be Done Outside Business Hours?
Where required and agreed in advance, commercial remedial works can be planned around business operations. This is particularly useful where circuits, equipment or working areas cannot easily be isolated during normal trading hours.
