Cobb & Co. provide professional electrical remedial works and compliance upgrades for landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners throughout Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

Where an electrical inspection identifies defects or areas requiring improvement, we can assess the findings, explain what work is required and carry out the necessary remedial works to bring the installation to an appropriate standard.

Whether the report was completed by Cobb & Co. or another electrical contractor, we can provide a clear quotation for the work required and appropriate certification following completion.

EICR Remedial Works

An Electrical Installation Condition Report may identify defects that require remedial work before the installation can be considered satisfactory.

These observations are classified using codes including C1, C2, C3 and FI.

We regularly carry out remedial works following EICRs, including:

• Rectifying C1 and C2 observations

• Further investigation of FI observations

• Improvements relating to C3 observations where requested

• Repairs to damaged wiring and accessories

• Earthing and bonding improvements

• RCD and RCBO protection upgrades

• Consumer unit and distribution board works

• Circuit repairs and fault finding

• Replacement of damaged or unsuitable electrical equipment

Once the required works have been completed, appropriate electrical certification is provided for the work undertaken.

Understanding EICR Observation Codes

C1 – Danger Present
An immediate risk of injury is present and urgent action is required.

C2 – Potentially Dangerous
A potentially dangerous condition has been identified and urgent remedial action is required.

C3 – Improvement Recommended
The installation is not considered unsafe solely because of a C3 observation, but an improvement is recommended.

FI – Further Investigation Required
Further investigation is required without delay to determine the nature and extent of a potential problem.

C1, C2 and FI observations will result in an EICR being assessed as unsatisfactory.

Electrical Compliance Upgrades

Electrical installations and the standards applied to them develop over time. Older installations may therefore benefit from upgrades to improve safety and bring aspects of the installation in line with current requirements.

Compliance upgrades can include:

• Consumer unit and distribution board upgrades

• Type A RCD and RCBO upgrades

• Additional RCD protection

• Surge protection

• Earthing and bonding improvements

• Replacement of damaged or outdated electrical accessories

• Improvements to circuit protection

• Emergency lighting upgrades

• Electrical alterations required following inspections

We will explain what is required, what is recommended and the reason for the proposed work so that you can make an informed decision.

Remedial Works Following Other Contractors’ Reports

You do not need to have had your original inspection carried out by Cobb & Co.

If you already have an EICR or electrical inspection report from another contractor, we can review the observations and provide a quotation for the required remedial works.

Where further investigation is required before an accurate quotation can be provided, we will explain this before proceeding.

This provides landlords, homeowners and businesses with the freedom to obtain a separate quotation for remedial works following an electrical inspection.

Remedial Works for Landlords & Managing Agents

We regularly support landlords, letting agents and managing agents with remedial electrical works identified during property inspections.

We understand that compliance work often needs to be organised efficiently, particularly where properties are occupied or statutory timescales apply.

We provide clear quotations, communicate the work required and can coordinate access with tenants or property managers where necessary.

For clients responsible for multiple properties, we can also provide ongoing inspection, remedial and electrical maintenance support across a wider portfolio.

Commercial Compliance Upgrades

We carry out remedial and upgrade works within offices, retail premises, hospitality venues, communal areas, apartment blocks and other commercial and managed buildings.

Works can range from individual electrical defects through to larger programmes of upgrades identified during periodic inspection.

By providing inspection, remedial works, certification and ongoing maintenance through one contractor, we can help businesses and property managers keep their electrical compliance straightforward and organised.

Testing & Certification Following Remedial Works

Remedial electrical work is tested as appropriate following completion, with the relevant electrical certification provided for the work undertaken.

Where works have been completed following an EICR, we can also provide clear documentation identifying which observations have been addressed.

Our aim is to leave clients with a clear record of what was identified, what work has been completed and the certification relating to that work.
