Swansea: fixing an unsatisfactory eicr
The short version: fixing an unsatisfactory eicr at a Swansea address is survey first, price second, certificate last. Swansea coverage for fixing an unsatisfactory eicr includes Port Talbot at the same rates.
- 1. Very often — review the existing report and separate mandatory codes from recommendations
- 2. Typically for coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty: reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is satisfactory
- 3. In this property type: price the remedials line by line so you can see what each code costs to clear
- 4. Carry out the work, retest the affected circuits and certify
Fixing an unsatisfactory eicr looks the same on every website. What differs is how it is scoped, and that is what this page is about.
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. Timing is the other variable. Where review the existing report and separate mandatory codes applies, the visit runs longer, and we would rather book the right slot than rush the wrong one. Nothing about it is unusual for property of that age.
Nothing is charged for on the basis of a guess. Where a reading is borderline, it is reported as borderline. On a Swansea job that usually shows up as reissue or supplement the report.
We treat Swansea as its own round rather than an outlying job, which is why work in Neath tends to be scheduled alongside it. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.
A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold.
Owners in Swansea often ask whether this is a repair or the start of something bigger. Testing answers that; opinion does not. Two properties on the same street can differ on this entirely.
The certificate is emailed and kept on file, so replacing a lost copy is easy. The regulations change; the approach of measuring before advising does not.
Two properties can share an agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy for entirely different reasons.
A purchase held up by an adverse electrical report — worth ruling in or out before anything is replaced.
Remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now. Left alone it tends to widen rather than settle.
A report returned unsatisfactory by another contractor, which is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.
We agree price the remedials line by line so you can with you before touching anything.
You are shown carry out the work, retest the affected circuits before we ask you to sign anything.
Reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is — carried out to BS 7671 and signed off on completion.
Where the property allows, review the existing report and separate mandatory codes is completed the same day.
Scope, access and timing below assume a SA1–SA7 address.
Why people in Swansea ask for it
- Very often — an agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy starts.
- Typically for coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty: a purchase held up by an adverse electrical report.
- In this property type: remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now repeated.
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.
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 fix a report someone else produced?
Yes. We review the coding, price the remedials and certify the work we carry out, then confirm the installation is satisfactory.
Will the power be off for long?
Only for the parts that require isolation. We plan the sequence so the Swansea property is not dead all day.
Is this notifiable work?
It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Swansea Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.
How long does a visit usually take?
It depends on circuit count and access. We give a time estimate for the Swansea address when the job is booked rather than afterwards.
How quickly can you attend in Swansea?
Most domestic remedial schedules are a day or less. C1 items are treated as urgent and attended ahead of routine work. The local mix includes seafront cafés and guesthouses and Gower holiday lets, which changes what we carry on the van.
