If your WS9 property fails an EICR inspection, you'll receive a report categorizing issues as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). For C1 and C2 faults, immediate remedial work is required to make the installation safe. At Express Contractors, we provide a detailed explanation of all issues and offer transparent quotes for any necessary remedial work. Our WS9 electricians can typically complete required repairs promptly, often on the same day for serious faults. Once remedial work is completed, we'll retest the affected areas and issue an updated EICR certificate at no additional inspection charge, ensuring your property meets all safety standards.
