What Is Electrical Remedial Work?
Electrical remedial work involves qualified electricians repairing any safety issues or defects within the electrical installation of a residential or commercial property.
These safety defects are often identified during an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and the necessary repairs are commonly referred to as EICR remedial works. Landlords and property managers in London frequently require electrical remedial work and testing to ensure their installations remain compliant and safe.
Electrical remedial work includes repairs or adjustments needed to fix any safety issues or defects identified during an EICR inspection. This can range from replacing faulty wiring and circuit breakers to fixing connections or upgrading outdated components to ensure compliance with current safety standards.
The duration of electrical remedial work depends on the extent of the issues identified during the EICR inspection. Minor repairs may take a few hours, while more significant work could require additional time. Our team will provide a clear timeline after assessing the required repairs.

Addressing these issues promptly helps maintain safety and legal compliance, especially for landlords and property managers.
