What We Did

Inspection

Remedial work

Consumer unit replaced within five days

Result

Satisfactory EICR following re-inspection; tenant moved in on schedule

Project details

Why the inspection was arranged

The landlord needed to confirm the condition of the fixed electrical installation before the next tenants moved in. Arranging the inspection in advance left time to identify defects and authorise electrical work without disrupting the planned start of the tenancy.

What the electrician recorded

The original EICR identified one C2 fault linked to a faulty residual current device (RCD) on the older consumer unit, alongside two C3 improvement recommendations. A C2 observation requires timely action to make the installation safe; a C3 is a recommendation for improvement and should not be described as the same kind of defect. The team quoted for remedial work on the day of inspection.

Electrical remedial work

The consumer unit was replaced within five days. The installation was then re-inspected and a satisfactory EICR was issued. The relevant records give the landlord a clearer account of the first inspection, the agreed repair and the follow-up result.

The outcome for the landlord

The new tenant moved in on schedule. The project illustrates why landlords should arrange electrical checks early, review recorded fault codes carefully and allow time for electrical remedial works before a tenancy begins.

Outcome

Consumer unit replaced and a satisfactory EICR issued after re-inspection. The tenancy started on time.
