Hi guys, need a bit of advice,
EICR was completed on the property which needed a new consumer unit and a few other bits like broken sockets and damage pendants.
What’s the best way to address this with a certificate? Is it an eic stating the consumer unit has been changed and other work...
Hey all,
Could do with some help.
I had a company recommended to me who quoted me to do an EICR on my rental property. (£265). I thought this was quite expensive but as I've been messed around no end by tradesmen I thought I'd go with the recommendation and pay the extra.
I also asked him to...

Hello everyone,
Need some advices to be fair. How do you charge for remedial works after an EICR did not pass? Are you charging on a daily rate?
Thank you

My house recently failed an eicr done by me.

Is there any regulation on when remedial works need to be completed by? I can see they state 28 days for domestic landlord certification. However this is a commercial unit, client has asked if there's an allocated time to get the C2 remedial works done by.

Good evening,
This pertains to a four-bedroom property that is vacant due to minor redecorating. As part of this we employed a sizeable electrical company who completely went to town with the report and came back with 18 C2s for a non-period property that was redone in 2012. Furthermore the...
Hope this is ok and also posted in the correct section as this is my first post. As a landlord can I do my own electrical repairs/modifications or is there a legislation that prevents this. I know there is new legislation that requires a safety check every 5 years but is there a specific...
Happy to discuss history, but time for an Electrical appraisal and certification, in a two bed Holiday Let cottage, near Falmouth. The Cottage is almost 100 years old and I inherited a decent looking install with a twin RCD 10 mcb board. Nice plastic one directly under a wooden staircase, but...

Folks what certification would generally be issued to the client ,after completing remedial works originating from an EICR
I am assuming the client would love to have the original EICR fully completed with the words Satisfactory on the front page
But this is not always practible depending on the...
Hello, I felt hot sockets in my house.
I called an electrician who said the fuse board was dangerous - just by looking at it. Horrified was the word used. He carried out testing and did some other work.
£120 for the report
£140 for bonding to gas and water services
£80 for T&E cable to front...
Just looking for some opinions on how best to price some remedials on an EICR that has been done recently. I didn’t carry out the report but do have access to it. It’s a big warehouse with numerous final dbs so there’s quite a lot of paperwork which will take some going through.
There are quite...
