Report review
We look through the EICR observations, coding and circuit details to understand what has failed and why.
Failed EICR specialists
EICR remedial works for failed electrical reports.
Failed an EICR? Phoenix Safety Group carries out electrical remedial works across London, Essex and the South East for landlords, agents, homeowners, HMOs and commercial premises.
Failed EICR? It does not automatically mean a rewire.
An unsatisfactory EICR can look serious, but many failed reports are caused by specific defects that can be corrected without replacing the entire installation.
Common issues include missing bonding, damaged accessories, unsuitable circuit protection, consumer unit defects, poor terminations, lack of RCD protection, exposed conductors or items marked for further investigation.
We review each observation properly, explain what is genuinely required and provide a clear scope before any remedial work starts.

Common reasons for a failed EICR
These are some of the most common defects we see on unsatisfactory reports.
Consumer unit issues
Older fuseboards, damaged enclosures, missing blanks, unsuitable devices, lack of RCD protection or poor internal condition.
Missing bonding
Main protective bonding to gas, water or other incoming services missing, undersized, inaccessible or not verified.
C2 observations
Potentially dangerous defects that usually make the EICR unsatisfactory until corrected by competent remedial work.
Further investigation
Items where the inspector could not confirm safety without additional inspection, testing or access.
Circuit defects
Low insulation resistance, incorrect polarity, poor continuity, damaged wiring, loose connections or incorrectly protected circuits.
Damaged accessories
Broken sockets, cracked switches, exposed conductors, damaged light fittings and unsafe accessories requiring replacement.
Remedial works for landlords, agents and managed property.
Rental properties need a clear route from unsatisfactory report to completion. That is especially important where an EICR has been carried out for a tenancy, renewal, letting agent, HMO licence, portfolio audit or compliance request.
Phoenix Safety Group can work from our own reports or from reports issued by another contractor. Where the report is unclear, we can explain the likely issue, identify where more information is needed and avoid unnecessary work where possible.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about failed reports, coding and remedial works.
Can you quote from another contractor's EICR report?
Yes. Phoenix Safety Group regularly provides remedial quotations from third-party EICR reports across London, Essex and the South East.
Does a failed EICR mean I need a full rewire?
Not usually. Many unsatisfactory EICR reports are caused by specific defects such as missing bonding, damaged accessories, lack of RCD protection, consumer unit issues or circuit faults.
Can you complete the remedial works and retest?
Yes. We can carry out the agreed remedial works, test the affected circuits and issue the relevant documentation once the defects have been corrected.
Do landlords need to complete EICR remedial works within 28 days?
For rented property in England, landlords are normally required to complete required remedial works within 28 days or within the shorter period stated in the report.
