Failed EICR

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hi just want to know what you guys and girls do in the following situation. 

You've carried out an EICR its failed. 

Once the remedials have been carried out do you redo the original EICR so it's Satisfactory?

Or do you fill out minor works certs and give these to the customer along with the original failed report so once cross referenced  it results in being satisfactory. 

This has been bugging me for awhile now. 

Regards TS

    Well how well do you trust the previous guy to have done a proper job. Reading some of the tales on here, not always very far.

    You could be explicit who is responsible for what .

    “Based on results of earlier test and inspection  performed by your contractors,  Speedy, Bodge and Scarper Ltd,  in conjunction with the additional minor works I have undertaken to correct the specific defects as described below,   the installation may now be considered  fit for use until the retest date … "

     

    If the remedial was to fix  couple of C1 defects by replacing a smashed ceiling rose or junction box with one with a lid for example, you may like to adopt the cover of tests already done on the rest of the installation.

     If you trust them….

    Apologies if your business really is called Speedy Bodge and Scarper.. no reference to a real outfit is intended.
