EICR remedial work cost in Nottingham is not one number, because remedial work is priced per fault rather than as a single job. Published 2026 UK guide figures put most individual small fixes — a damaged socket, a loose connection, a bonding correction — at roughly £50 to £300 each, while the one item that genuinely changes the total is the consumer unit, which Somo Electrical prices at £600 to £1,000 fitted and tested. An EICR, an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is the written result of inspecting and testing a property's fixed wiring. Any C1 or C2 observation makes it unsatisfactory, and the work to clear those observations is what the trade calls remedial work. It is quoted separately, after the report exists, and this page is about what that second bill looks like. How much does EICR remedial work cost in Nottingham? The table below separates two different things and labels which is which. The middle column is published UK guide ranges collated on 29 September 2026 — national figures, not local averages and not ours. The right-hand column is Somo Electrical's own price where we publish one. Neither column is a quote.

The bill changes shape when the board is the problem, and again when the observations point at the cable throughout rather than at specific accessories. Property age, access and the number of circuits involved move all of these. Why can nobody price remedial work before the report exists? Because until an installation has been inspected and tested there is nothing to price. A remedial quote is priced against numbered observations in a document, so anyone offering a fixed "EICR remedial" figure over the phone is guessing at what they will find. That is also the useful thing to know about a suspiciously cheap inspection: the fee and the remedial bill are two separate transactions, and a low headline price on the first does not bind the second. The question that protects you is not "how much is the EICR" but "how do you price the remedial work, and will I get it itemised against the observations". Do the C3 items have to be paid for? No, and this is where most money leaks out of a remedial quote. A C3 means improvement recommended: it does not fail the report and carries no obligation. A plastic consumer unit enclosure, a missing circuit chart, or a circuit with no RCD that did not require one when it was installed are genuine improvements rather than things you must buy. Ask for the C3s to be priced on a separate line so they stay your decision rather than part of a total presented as compliance. Some are worth doing while someone is already there and the board is already open; that is a value judgement, and it should be presented as one. Our guide to what C1, C2, C3 and FI mean covers which codes actually oblige you to act. Does the electrician who did the EICR have to do the remedial work? No, and you are entitled to a second quote — but there is a cost consequence worth understanding before you move the work elsewhere. The electrician who wrote the report can put the faults right and re-issue it as satisfactory. A different contractor cannot amend someone else's report; they can only certify the work they carried out, which usually means paying for a fresh EICR afterwards to get a satisfactory document. So the honest comparison is not quote against quote. It is the first quote against the second quote plus a re-inspection, which published guides put at £120 to £350 by property size. On a small remedial bill that difference often decides it; on a large one a second opinion is still worth paying for. What paperwork should the remedial work produce? Written confirmation means a certificate from whoever carried the work out, not an invoice — an Electrical Installation Certificate for a new or altered circuit such as a replacement board, a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for smaller work. Keep it with the original report; the pair together is what evidences that an unsatisfactory report has been cleared. Ask whether the price includes that certificate and any notification required under Part P of the Building Regulations, whose scope is published on GOV.UK, and which version of BS 7671 the work will be done to — BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 was published on 15 April 2026 and the previous version is withdrawn on 15 October 2026. How long do landlords have to get it done? A landlord in England has 28 days from the report to complete any remedial or further investigative work it requires, or sooner where the report specifies a shorter period, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 as amended. Written confirmation then goes to the tenant, and to the local housing authority if it asks. The cost angle is that 28 days is enough time to get a second quote but not enough to wait and see, and landlords who leave it to the last week pay for availability rather than for the work. Owner-occupiers have no deadline — a C1 or C2 is still worth acting on, but it is a safety decision rather than a legal one. Our guide to what penalties a landlord faces covers the enforcement side. Everything on this page is about reading a report and comparing quotes. The inspection, the testing and every remedial job that follows are work for a qualified, registered electrician, and nothing here is an instruction to open a consumer unit or touch a circuit. Building Regulations guidance is published on GOV.UK, Electrical Safety First publishes plain-English advice for householders, and BS 7671 is published by the IET. Frequently asked questions Is remedial work included in the price of an EICR? No. The inspection fee buys the inspection, the testing and the written report. Any fault the report finds is quoted and charged separately, because nobody knows what the faults are until the testing is done. A quote that appears to include remedial work is either capping what it will fix or excluding the things that cost money, so ask which. What is the average cost of EICR remedial work in Nottingham? There is no honest average, because the figure depends entirely on what the report found. Published UK guides put small individual fixes at roughly £50 to £300 and suggest a £100 to £300 contingency for minor remedial work. A replacement consumer unit is the item that moves the total most, at £600 to £1,000 with Somo Electrical. None of those is a quote. Do I need a new EICR after the remedial work is finished? Not if the electrician who wrote the report does the work, because they can re-issue it as satisfactory once the observations are cleared. If a different contractor does the work, they can only certify what they did, so a fresh inspection is usually needed to produce a satisfactory report. Factor that into comparing two remedial quotes. Why are two remedial quotes for the same report so different? Usually because one has priced the C3s into the total and the other has not, or because one includes certification and making good and the other adds them afterwards. Ask for both quotes itemised against the numbered observations in the report. Two lists mapped to the same observations can be compared honestly; two totals cannot.
