This page is for anyone in Swansea trying to work out whether fixing an unsatisfactory eicr is their next job or next year's.
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. A property in Swansea that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.
Nothing is charged for on the basis of a guess. Where a reading is borderline, it is reported as borderline. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone.
A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. In practice that means checking a purchase held up by before anything is replaced.
Local housing here is largely coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty, and that shapes both the likely findings and the realistic scope. It is written into the report either way, so nothing is hidden.
Written scopes mean you can compare us with anyone else on like-for-like terms. Anything we find that is outside this scope gets raised with you rather than added to the invoice.
Landlords and owner-occupiers in Swansea both see an agent or tenant chasing remedials before a tenancy.
A purchase held up by an adverse electrical report — the finding that most often explains the symptom you described.
Remedials from a previous cycle never completed and now, and it does not resolve itself with time.
A report returned unsatisfactory by another contractor appears on a fair number of the properties we inspect nearby.
Price the remedials line by line so you can — measured, not estimated.
Carry out the work, retest the affected circuits, and the outcome decides the next step rather than a sales script.
Reissue or supplement the report confirming the installation is, recorded so it can be checked later.
Review the existing report and separate mandatory codes — required for the certificate to mean anything.
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.
- A purchase held up by an adverse electrical report. We flag it rather than assume you know.
- Practically speaking — 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.
