Fixing an unsatisfactory EICR — Neath and surrounding SA10–SA11
Book the survey, read the findings, then decide about fixing an unsatisfactory eicr. That order saves money. Available throughout Neath, including Port Talbot.
- In most Neath cases: an agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy starts.
- The relevant point here: a purchase held up by an adverse electrical report.
- Remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now repeated. You will see the reading yourself.
Ask three electricians about fixing an unsatisfactory eicr and you may get three answers. Ours is based on what the readings say.
Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. On semi-rural cottages around Cimla it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.
Local housing here is largely semi-rural cottages around Cimla, and that shapes both the likely findings and the realistic scope. Around SA10–SA11 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.
Nothing is charged for on the basis of a guess. Where a reading is borderline, it is reported as borderline. For semi-rural cottages around Cimla that detail matters more than it does elsewhere.
There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now. A short survey tells us which one your property is. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.
Most enquiries about this start with a symptom and end with carry out the work, retest the affected circuits. We would rather set that expectation now than on the day. That is the honest version, rather than the version that sells more work.
Properties around Neath that have changed use — a room converted, an extension added — usually need a wider look than the original request implies. It is the difference between a fixed price and an estimate.
Nothing gets replaced because it looks old. It gets replaced because it fails a test. There is no benefit to us in recommending work that testing does not support, and plenty of downside.
Remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now. If it is not this, testing narrows it down quickly.
A report returned unsatisfactory by another contractor explains more callouts around SA10–SA11 than anything exotic.
In flats and converted properties around Neath, an agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy is the recurring theme.
A purchase held up by an adverse electrical report, and it does not resolve itself with time.
Reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is, which is the difference between a repair and a patch.
Access permitting, review the existing report and separate mandatory codes happens in a single visit to your Neath address.
We start by confirming price the remedials line by line so you can, then price from what the readings show.
Nothing is closed up until carry out the work, retest the affected circuits is verified.
Written with Neath housing and Neath Port Talbot Council requirements in mind.
What happens on the day
- 1In most Neath cases: review the existing report and separate mandatory codes from recommendations.
- 2The relevant point here: reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is satisfactory.
- 3Price the remedials line by line so you can see what each code costs to clear. You will see the reading yourself.
- 4Carry out the work, retest the affected circuits and certify. We flag it rather than assume you know.
As with every job in SA10–SA11: most domestic remedial schedules are a day or less. C1 items are treated as urgent and attended ahead of routine work.
What the remedial works certificate and reissued report actually covers
An unsatisfactory report is not a disaster; it is a list. Every observation carries a code, and the codes tell you what has to be corrected before the installation can be declared satisfactory and what is merely recommended.
While you wait: 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
Can you supply the report electronically?
Yes, as a PDF the same or next working day, with the Neath address and circuit schedule on it.
Can I use my own materials?
If they are suitable and certified, yes. We will say if something specified is not appropriate for the installation.
Will the power be off for long?
Only for the parts that require isolation. We plan the sequence so the Neath property is not dead all day.
What should I have ready before you arrive?
Access to the board and to the affected area, plus any previous certificates. That is enough to start at the Neath property.
How quickly can you attend in Neath?
Most domestic remedial schedules are a day or less. C1 items are treated as urgent and attended ahead of routine work. Neath sits close to M4 J43, which is why we can usually add a SA10–SA11 job to the same day.
