Electrical Remedial Works
Statutory electrical inspection & testing is a critical first step in your health and safety compliance regime. Upon completion of each installation inspection, the duty holder receives an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
Unless electrical installations are deemed to be satisfactory, your EICR will contain a detailed list of observations of and deviations from British Standard BS 7671 in terms of the nature and severity of deviations.
Remedial works are repairs and improvements to address issues that have arisen from an inspection and test of electrical equipment. These inspections are known as Electrical installation condition report (EICR) emergency lighting inspection and test (EMLI&T), Fire alarm inspection and test (FAI&T).
When an Electrical test and inspection is carried out, organisations receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).Emergency lighting inspection and test (EMLI&T), Fire alarm inspection and test (FAI&T).
The EICR will show a detailed list of observations and recommendations, including the severity of the issues found.
Depending on the severity of the Issues identified in the inspection report, you might need electrical remedial works to rectify any defects that have been highlighted.

Here’s how we carry out remedial electrical work:
Initial Assessment and Fault Diagnosis | Professional Remedial Action and Repairs | Post-Remedial Verification and Certification |
We can carry out an electrical inspection and test or assess one already completed by another firm. We’ll then give you a schedule of the work needed and a quote. | We’ll carry out all the urgent and recommended repairs and upgrades and advise you on any other non-urgent recommendations. These often don’t require work but should be considered. | Once the work is carried out, we’ll reference the remedial certificates to the original inspection report for your records. Our engineer will issue with the correct certificate which could be either or both: Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) – for major works like distribution replacements. Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate – for smaller jobs like adding RCD protection. Customer satisfaction note to evidence the rectification off any defects that have not had the characteristics of the circuit altered. - Installation of blanks, grommets, screws. |
Electrical inspection and test reports use four codes to classify the severity of issues found during an inspection. Remedial works are then advised depending on the category.
These codes are categorised as:
Immediate and urgent remedial works must be taken to avoid risk of injury or electric shock.
C1
Your electrics are safe, and no remedial works are needed, but there’s room for improvement to bring it up to the current edition of the standards.
C3
Urgent works are needed but there’s no immediate risk of injury or shock. You should take electrical remedial action asap to fix the issue before it potentially gets worse.
C2
Another investigation is needed to find the exact issue and determine the next steps. You should take immediate advice from a qualified electrical engineer to find the problem before you can demonstrate all defects highlighted have been rectified.
FI
Defects involving C1, C2 or FI codes require the responsible person – the property manager or owner – to take immediate action.
Our remedial electrical services can fix a range of different issues including:
Damaged or worn cable insulation that hasn’t yet exposed a live wire. This needs attention before it gets worse and increases the risk fire or injury.
Modern regulations require RCDs to prevent injury and electric shock; you must get this upgraded if you have an outdated system.
Immediate risk of electric shock or fire. Live wires need urgent repair or isolation and will be one of the most dangerous things found in an Electrical inspection report, classified as a C1.
Often need further investigation if they are found during an EICR. It’s important to find the problem to stay safe and compliant.
Too many devices on one circuit can cause overheating and fire risk. Redistribution or new circuits may be needed if any are carrying more current than they’re designed to.
Can lead to intermittent faults or overheating. It’s essential these are found and fixed to prevent disruption and damage.
Keeping all circuits labelled keeps your electrics clearer, organised and safer to work on. Unlabelled or unclear circuits can make fault finding and maintenance more dangerous.
