EICR Remedial Work London for Failed Reports, C1/C2 Repairs and Compliance Sign-Off
Failed an EICR? Get the Faults Fixed Properly and Move Back Towards Compliance
When an Unsatisfactory EICR Needs Urgent Action
If your EICR has come back as unsatisfactory, you are not alone. This is one of the most common situations landlords and property owners face, especially when managing Landlord Safety Certificate London compliance. What matters is what happens next.
An unsatisfactory report usually means there are safety issues that need attention. In some cases, these issues pose an immediate risk. In others, they could become dangerous if left unresolved. Either way, it is not something you can leave sitting in your inbox.
Most landlords do not realise this at first, but once an EICR flags serious faults, there is a legal responsibility to act within a defined timeframe. Delays can lead to compliance issues, and in worst cases, enforcement action.
Why C1, C2 and FI Observations Should Not Be Delayed
C1 faults indicate immediate danger. These are situations where there is a real risk of injury or fire.
C2 faults are not immediately dangerous but can quickly become serious if ignored.
FI means further investigation is required because the electrician could not confirm safety during inspection.
All three require attention. Leaving them unresolved is not just a compliance issue; it is a safety risk for occupants.
How We Help Landlords, Agents, Homeowners and Businesses Resolve Failed Reports
What most people want at this stage is simple. They want someone to review the report, explain it clearly, fix what is needed, and provide proper documentation.
That is exactly how we approach it. We do not just carry out electrical work. We help you understand the report, prioritise the right repairs, and move your property back towards compliance without confusion.

What Is EICR Remedial Work?
Corrective Electrical Repairs After an Electrical Installation Condition Report:
EICR remedial work in London refers to the repairs and upgrades required after an electrical inspection identifies faults, particularly following an EICR London inspection.
These works are not random. They are based directly on the observations listed in your report. Every repair is tied to a specific issue flagged during testing.
The Difference Between Required Remedial Work and Recommended Improvements
This is where many customers get confused.
Not everything in an EICR must be fixed.
C1, C2, and FI items require action.
C3 items are recommendations to improve safety but are usually not mandatory.
Understanding this difference helps you avoid unnecessary costs.
Why Remedial Work Is About Safety, Not Just Passing a Report:Some companies focus only on getting you a “pass.” A better approach is focusing on safety first.When repairs are done properly and verified correctly, the outcome naturally leads to compliance. That is how it should be handled.

EICR Code | Meaning | Explanation in Simple Terms | Action Required |
C1 | Danger Present | There is an immediate risk, such as exposed live wiring or a serious fault that could cause electric shock or fire. | Urgent action required immediately. Temporary safety may be applied, but permanent repair is necessary. |
C2 | Potentially Dangerous | The issue is not immediately dangerous but could become a serious risk if not fixed. | Urgent repair required to prevent danger. |
FI | Further Investigation Required | The inspector could not confirm whether the installation is safe. It does not always mean there is a fault, but more testing is needed. | Further investigation must be carried out without delay. |
C3 | Improvement Recommended | These are safety improvements rather than faults. The system may still be safe, but upgrades are advised. | Not mandatory for a pass, but recommended to improve safety. |
