Fixing an unsatisfactory eicr touches safety, paperwork and cost, and the three do not always point the same way.
Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. Around CF83 it is price the remedials line by that decides how long the visit takes.
People often expect the worst outcome. In practice, most Caerphilly visits of this kind end with a defined, limited piece of work. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.
We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone.
Whether the property is owner-occupied or let in Caerphilly, the technical work is identical — only the paperwork's recipient changes. In practice that means checking carry out the work, retest before anything is replaced.
Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. It is written into the report either way, so nothing is hidden.
Access, timing and tenants are all workable — say what you need when you book. If a part needs ordering, you will know the timescale before we leave.
On CF83 addresses the trail usually leads back to a purchase held up by an adverse electrical report.
Remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now is straightforward to correct once it has been identified properly.
A report returned unsatisfactory by another contractor, and it does not resolve itself with time.
An agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy, which testing separates from the other candidates rather than guesswork.
Across CF83 properties we carry out the work, retest the affected circuits the same way every time.
Included for every Caerphilly job of this type: reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is.
We review the existing report and separate mandatory codes, and you keep a copy of what was found.
For new-build estates around Bedwas and Trecenydd in particular we price the remedials line by line so you can.

What the remedial works certificate and reissued report actually covers
C1 means danger present and requires immediate action. C2 means potentially dangerous and requires urgent remedial work. FI means further investigation is needed. C3 is an improvement recommendation and does not make a report unsatisfactory — which matters, because some quotes bundle C3 items in as though they were mandatory.
The important part: where a report is unsatisfactory, remedial work should be carried out by a qualified person and evidenced with certification. In rented property, landlords are expected to act on C1, C2 and FI codes promptly.

Questions about the remedial works certificate and reissued report
Is the work guaranteed?
Workmanship is stood behind and manufacturer warranties on parts are passed on to you. We do not offer guarantees we cannot honour.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A realistic range, yes. A firm figure follows the testing, because a report returned unsatisfactory by another contractor and a simpler cause look identical from the outside.
What if I have had this looked at before?
Bring us the previous report if you have one. We test independently but it is useful to see what changed.
What happens if the fault does not show up on the day?
Intermittent faults get logged and monitored rather than declared fixed. We tell you plainly if it has not been reproduced.
Do you cover Caerphilly?
Yes — Caerphilly, Cardiff, Newport, Ystrad Mynach and the wider Mid Glamorgan area.
