EICR Remedials Invalidating the Report

Tolly

Hi all, 

Some clarification please.

General scenario: A domestic rental property fails an EICR. Remedial works are carried out and a certificate for the works is issued. It's been stated elsewhere that if remedial works are carried out, this invalidates the EICR, so another EICR should be carried out after the remedial works are carried out and the certificate obtained.

Does this seem the correct approach? Does the remedial work invalidate the EICR? Does it matter? Is it not acceptable to just have the failed EICR and have the certificate as evidence of having had the repairs carried out? 

Thanks

    Tell them it’s another £180 to check the remedial work and issue a new EICR.

    Lol - I thought along those lines, but if it's a different inspector from the one who did the original report, they may find other failures that weren't found in the original report due to sampling different items, for example, which may cause a problem in itself.

    Any differences would not be exclusively driven by different sampling rates, another inspector's opinion and experience or lack of, may introduce a myriad of phantom and ill-conceived non-compliances!
