If your WV6 property fails an EICR inspection, you'll receive a detailed report highlighting the issues, classified as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). For C1 and C2 issues, remedial work must be completed to achieve compliance, typically within 28 days for rental properties. Express Contractors can handle all necessary repairs efficiently, with many issues resolved on the same day as the inspection. We'll provide a clear quote for any required work and, once completed, issue an updated EICR certificate. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible for property owners throughout the WV6 area.
