If your EICR has identified C1 or C2 issues, remedial work is not optional — it is essential for safety and, for landlords, legally required within 28 days. At Pennington Electrical Ltd, we make the remedial process as straightforward as possible, providing clear quotations, efficient work, and updated certification so you can move on with confidence. We complete remedial work for clients across Leeds, Wakefield, and Bradford with fast turnaround times.

The first step is understanding your remedial quotation. We provide a detailed, itemised quote that breaks down every repair needed to bring your property to full compliance. Common remedial items include consumer unit upgrades (£400-£700), earthing improvements (£200-£400), circuit replacements (£300-£800 depending on length), RCD installations (£150-£300), and accessory replacements such as damaged sockets or switches (£50-£150 each).

For many properties, the most common remedial requirement is a consumer unit upgrade. If your fuse box is plastic, lacks RCD protection, or has no spare ways, upgrading to a modern metal consumer unit with full RCD and surge protection is often necessary. This single upgrade typically resolves multiple C2 issues at once and future-proofs your installation for years to come.

Earthing and bonding improvements are another frequent remedial item. Properties with TT earthing systems or corroded earth electrodes often fail on earthing resistance. We upgrade earth rods, install supplementary bonding, and verify that all metalwork is properly connected. This is particularly important in older West Yorkshire stone properties where original earthing may be inadequate.

The remedial work timeline depends on the number and complexity of issues. A simple job with one or two minor repairs can often be completed in a single visit of 2-3 hours. More extensive work involving rewiring circuits or full consumer unit upgrades typically takes a full day. We schedule remedial work promptly, understanding that landlords often have tight deadlines and homeowners want their electrics safe as quickly as possible.

Once remedial work is complete, we carry out full testing and issue an updated EICR certificate or Electrical Installation Minor Works Certificate confirming your property is now safe and compliant. For landlords, this documentation must be provided to tenants and the local authority within 28 days of the original report. We handle all paperwork and can liaise directly with letting agents if required. We support landlords and homeowners in Halifax, Huddersfield, Garforth, and Knottingley through the entire remedial process.

Our advice is to use the same electrician who carried out your EICR for the remedial work. They already know your installation, have identified the issues firsthand, and can provide the most efficient and cost-effective solution. At Pennington Electrical Ltd, we offer combined EICR and remedial packages with priority scheduling and discounted rates for follow-up work.
