Remedial Electrical Works in Islington Following Failed EICR | Electricians4London

At Electricians4London, we specialise in providing fast, compliant, and reliable remedial electrical works following Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs). We recently completed a comprehensive project in Islington, North London, after a residential property failed its periodic inspection.

Our expert electricians responded quickly to carry out all required upgrades and repairs, ensuring the property met the latest electrical safety standards. We also handled all compliance documentation and notified the local authority, giving our client complete peace of mind.

Remedial works are the corrective actions required when an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) identifies faults or non-compliances in a property's electrical system. These issues can range from minor code violations to serious safety hazards.

Our recent Islington project involved multiple critical upgrades to ensure the property was made safe, regulation-compliant, and fully certified.

1. Upgrade of Two Consumer Units (Fuse Boards)

We replaced two outdated and unsafe fuse boards with brand-new RCBO consumer units. These modern units offer individual residual current protection on every circuit, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the installation. All boards were clearly labelled, tested, and installed in accordance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.

2. Earth Bonding to Gas Supply Upgraded

The property had insufficient bonding to the gas meter, a common cause of EICR failure. We installed correctly sized main protective bonding conductors, securely clamped to the gas pipework. This upgrade ensures proper fault current dissipation and helps reduce the risk of electric shock in the event of a fault.

3. Replacement of Mains-Powered Smoke Alarm

Fire safety is a legal and practical priority. We removed the old, faulty smoke detector and installed a new mains-powered smoke alarm with battery backup, compliant with BS 5839-6 standards. This ensures 24/7 smoke detection, even during power outages.

4. Electrical Installation Certification Issued

Following completion, we conducted a full test and inspection of the new installation. The property was issued with an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), providing official evidence that the remedial works meet current UK safety standards.

5. Local Authority Notification (Part P Compliance)

As part of our service, we submitted the appropriate Part P notification to the local council. This is a legal requirement for notifiable works under Building Regulations, and ensures the property remains compliant with statutory obligations.

Failure to address EICR issues can lead to serious risks such as fire, electric shock, or legal penalties—particularly for landlords. By acting quickly and hiring qualified, NICEIC-registered electricians like us, you protect your property, tenants, and legal standing.
