Quick summary
What a failed EICR means
A failed or unsatisfactory report does not automatically mean a full rewire is needed. It means the installation has recorded observations that need further action, repair, replacement or investigation.
What to send for a remedial quote
Send the EICR, the property address, access details and any photos of the consumer unit, meter area or items mentioned in the report.
Common remedial items
Remedial work can include replacing damaged accessories, improving labelling, correcting faults, adding suitable protection, resolving bonding issues or investigating circuit problems.
Keeping records
Landlords should keep reports, remedial records, invoices and any follow-up documentation together so the property file is clear and easy to refer back to.
