EICR REMEDIAL WORKS
IN ESSEX & EAST LONDON
Failed your EICR with C1 or C2 codes? KLIC ELECTRICAL carries out all required remedial works and re-tests on completion — issuing a Satisfactory EICR certificate for your Essex or East London property. Fast, certified, and fairly priced.
What Happens After a Failed EICR?
Receiving an Unsatisfactory EICR is not uncommon — particularly in older properties or those that have not been inspected for many years. An Unsatisfactory result means the inspection found C1 (Danger present) or C2 (Potentially dangerous) codes that require remedial work before the installation can be certified as satisfactory. For landlords, this remedial work must be completed within 28 days of the inspection.
KLIC ELECTRICAL carries out all types of EICR remedial works across Essex and East London — from simple like-for-like MCB replacements to more complex cable repairs, consumer unit upgrades, or wiring modifications. Once remedial works are complete, we carry out a full re-test and issue a Satisfactory EICR — meaning a single contractor handles everything from failed inspection to compliance.
What's Included in Our Remedial Works Service
EICR Code Assessment
We review your existing EICR report and assess each C1, C2, and FI code — providing a clear, itemised quote for all required remedial works with no hidden extras.
C1 Immediate Works
Dangerous faults (C1 codes) requiring immediate isolation and repair — carried out as a priority to make the installation safe and allow the affected circuit to be brought back into use.
C2 Remedial Repairs
All C2 (Potentially dangerous) works completed — typically within 28 days as required by the landlord regulations, or sooner for owner-occupiers and commercial premises.
FI Further Investigation
Further investigation items (FI codes) properly tested and assessed — establishing whether a defect exists and carrying out repair where required.
Consumer Unit Upgrade
Where the EICR identifies the consumer unit as inadequate (common in older properties), we supply and install a compliant 18th Edition unit — resolving multiple C2 codes in a single upgrade.
Re-Test & Satisfactory EICR
Full re-test of all remediated circuits on completion. New Satisfactory EICR issued — suitable for landlord compliance, property sale, or insurance purposes.
Why Act on EICR Defects Without Delay
EICR defects exist for a reason. Delaying remedial works creates safety, legal, and insurance risk.
C1 Codes Are Immediate Dangers
A C1 code means a risk of injury is present — the affected circuit or item should ideally be isolated from supply until repaired. Continuing to use an installation with a C1 defect is genuinely dangerous and represents a known risk for insurance purposes.
Landlord 28-Day Deadline
Landlords must complete C1 and C2 remedial works within 28 days of the inspection date (or sooner if specified in the EICR). Failure to do so, and to provide written confirmation to tenants, constitutes a breach of the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020.
Insurance Validity
A known EICR defect that is not repaired may invalidate your insurance in the event of an electrical-related claim. A promptly completed remedial works certificate demonstrates that you acted on the known defect — protecting your insurance position.

EICR Remedial Works FAQs
Common questions about EICR remedial works in Essex and East London.
C1 (Danger present) — a risk of injury exists. The affected circuit should be isolated immediately until repaired. C2 (Potentially dangerous) — a defect that could become dangerous. Must be repaired within 28 days for rental properties. C3 (Improvement recommended) — advisory only, does not fail the EICR and does not require action. FI (Further investigation required) — the inspector could not confirm the condition of part of the installation and further investigation is required.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must complete all required remedial works within 28 days of the inspection date — or within the period specified in the EICR report if shorter. C1 (immediately dangerous) faults should be addressed immediately. Written confirmation of completed works must be provided to tenants and, on request, to the local authority.
Yes — once all C1 and C2 remedial works are completed, we carry out a re-test of the affected circuits and issue a new Satisfactory EICR. This new certificate confirms that the defects identified in the original report have been rectified and the installation now meets the required standard.
Remedial works costs vary significantly depending on the nature and extent of the defects. A single RCD or MCB replacement may cost £80–£150. A full consumer unit upgrade (common when the board is identified as inadequate) typically costs £350–£700. We provide a fully itemised fixed-price quote on receipt of your existing EICR report — covering every defect code.
As a landlord, failure to complete remedial works within 28 days (and provide written confirmation to the tenant) means you are in breach of the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020. The local authority can serve a remedial notice requiring works to be completed, impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000, and carry out the works themselves (recovering costs from the landlord).
Yes — we regularly carry out remedial works based on EICR reports issued by other contractors. Simply send us the EICR report and we will provide a fixed-price quote for all required works. We re-test and issue the Satisfactory EICR on completion — regardless of who issued the original inspection report.
