⚠️ LANDLORDS: HAS YOUR PROPERTY FAILED ITS EICR?
An unsatisfactory electrical report can feel alarming, but it doesn’t automatically mean your property needs rewiring or that every recommendation must be completed.
Here’s what the codes actually mean:
🔴 C1: Danger present — immediate action required.
🟠 C2: Potentially dangerous — remedial work required.
🔍 FI: Further investigation required without delay.
🟢 C3: Improvement recommended — not required for a satisfactory report.
Landlords must usually complete essential repairs within 28 days, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter deadline.
Failure to meet electrical safety obligations could result in penalties of up to £40,000.
Whether you manage one rental property or an entire portfolio, we can review your EICR, provide a clear quotation and complete the works needed to bring your installation to a satisfactory standard.
