Electrical repairs and investigation following a commercial EICR. PB Electrical reviews the observations, circuit details and limitations before quoting for the work needed. Keep the full report available and call promptly about any immediate safety concern identified by the inspector.
Speak directly with Max about the premises, access and work you need.

The report explains the concerns; the remedial quotation should explain what will be done about them.
Send the EICR with its observation pages, circuit schedules and test results rather than a cropped summary. The installation description and recorded limitations help explain what was assessed. If another contractor has already completed part of the work, include the relevant records so the outstanding scope can be discussed accurately.
A clear defect may support a defined repair, while an unresolved finding may need further investigation first. Ask which tasks can be quoted now and which depend on access or test findings. This keeps the quotation connected to evidence and avoids ordering parts before the cause or extent is understood.
Discuss the appropriate records for the remedial tasks and how they relate to the original report. An existing EICR and a certificate for later work describe different things. Agree what will be provided and what your landlord, insurer or facilities contact needs to review once the defined work has been completed.
Keep the premises in mind
A report can involve urgent action, access decisions and several people responsible for different parts of the building.
Do not leave an immediate concern waiting in an email queue. Contact the inspector or Max promptly to discuss the recorded advice and call if the situation may be unsafe. The observations distinguish danger, potential danger, further investigation and recommended improvement; those differences should inform the order in which action is arranged.
In leased or shared premises, responsibility for the intake, distribution equipment and circuits may involve different parties. Identify the person who can approve the quotation and provide access. A report sent to your business does not necessarily mean your team controls every area needed to carry out the proposed work.
Several remedial tasks may affect the same circuit or room. Discuss whether they can be coordinated within an agreed access window, and which systems need planned shutdown and restart. Any phasing must still reflect the urgency of the findings rather than postponing a serious concern simply to suit the diary.
From first contact to agreed work
You can enquire before every detail is settled. The work, access and price are agreed before booking.
Include observations, schedules, the inspection date and any urgent advice. Explain whether work has already been completed and provide the relevant records if it has.
Discuss defined repairs, any investigation still needed and access responsibilities. Confirm the scope, price and interruption arrangements with the person authorised to approve the remedial work.
Review the agreed work and any remaining actions. Store the appropriate completion records alongside the original EICR so the responsible premises contact can understand what was addressed.
Prepare for a useful quote
Use this checklist if you have the information to hand. You can still enquire if you do not have drawings or previous electrical records.
Read the preparation guideAttach plans or reports to your prepared email. Leave electrical covers in place when taking photographs.
Practical answers
Not automatically. The observations describe the concerns found within the inspection scope, and the appropriate response depends on those findings. Some issues may involve defined repairs; others need investigation or wider work. Send the full report so the discussion is based on the actual installation and recorded defects.
Ask Max about thisC1 indicates danger present, C2 potential danger, and C3 recommends improvement. On an Amendment 4 report, FI advises further investigation; FI and C3 do not alone make the assessment unsatisfactory. Older reports may use different wording. Read the observations, assessment and inspector advice together; a code alone cannot define the repair or its cost.
Ask Max about thisPB Electrical can review the report and discuss the remedial work. Send the complete document, including observations and test schedules, plus records of repairs already completed. Some findings may need further assessment before an accurate repair scope and price can be confirmed.
Ask Max about thisThe original report records the condition found at the inspection. Later remedial work needs the appropriate completion records for the tasks carried out. Discuss how those documents will be supplied and reviewed together, especially if a landlord or insurer has requested evidence that particular observations have been addressed.
Ask Max about thisTell Max about both the report findings and any planned changes so related access and interruptions can be discussed. The priorities still need to reflect the urgency of the observations. Keep the remedial tasks identifiable in the quotation, rather than losing the action needed on the report within a larger refurbishment list.
Ask Max about thisA C3 recommends improvement and does not alone make the assessment unsatisfactory. Ask the inspector to explain each observation and its relationship to other findings. Your organisation may also have insurer, lease or maintenance requirements, so agree priorities using the actual report rather than its codes alone.
Ask Max about thisSend the complete report, including observations, test schedules and limitations, rather than a photograph of the result page alone. Explain occupancy, access and shutdown windows. Some findings need investigation before a repair can be priced accurately; the quote should distinguish those stages and any exclusions.
