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.
Do not skip this — 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.
