Professional Electrical Remedial Works in London
Electrical Remedial Work in London involves repairing electrical faults and correcting safety defects identified in residential and commercial properties. At Just Sparky, we aim to help property owners address electrical issues and maintain safer electrical installations.
These issues are often identified during an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Depending on the inspection findings, remedial work may be required to address electrical defects and help bring an installation in line with applicable safety standards.
Landlords, homeowners and property managers may require EICR remedial work to address identified problems and meet relevant electrical safety requirements.

Which Electrical Defects Need Repairing?
The EICR identifies observations using different codes to indicate their significance.
C1 – Danger Present: An immediate electrical safety hazard requiring urgent action.
C2 – Potentially Dangerous: A defect requiring urgent remedial attention.
C3 – Improvement Recommended: An opportunity to improve the safety of the installation.
FI – Further Investigation Required: Additional investigation is necessary to determine whether a dangerous defect exists.
C1 and C2 observations, along with FI observations where applicable, require appropriate action to establish electrical safety. C3 observations are recommendations rather than automatic reasons for an unsatisfactory EICR.
Just Sparky can explain the findings and help you prioritise the necessary repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need another EICR after remedial work?
Not in every case. The need for a further EICR depends on the original findings, the repairs completed and the applicable requirements. Appropriate certification and any necessary reassessment should be arranged to establish the condition of the installation.
How long can I leave electrical remedial work after an EICR?
Remedial work should be arranged according to the seriousness of the defects. Immediate dangers require urgent action, while other defects should be addressed within the relevant timeframe. Applicable legal requirements may specify deadlines for certain rental properties.
Can I sell a property with an unsatisfactory EICR?
An unsatisfactory EICR does not automatically prevent a property sale. However, identified electrical defects may affect a buyer’s decision, negotiations or the terms of the transaction. Resolving significant safety issues can help provide greater confidence in the property’s electrical installation.
What is included in electrical remedial work?
The work depends on the defects identified. It may include repairing wiring, replacing damaged sockets and switches, upgrading protective devices, improving earthing and bonding, or replacing faulty electrical equipment.
Can remedial work be carried out after an EICR from another company?
Yes. Electrical remedial work can be arranged using the findings of an EICR completed by another contractor. The report should be reviewed to establish the required repairs and any additional investigation needed.
Why should electrical defects be repaired promptly?
Prompt repairs help reduce the risk of electric shock, electrical fires, equipment damage and disruption. They also help property owners and businesses address relevant electrical safety obligations.
