Remedial Works After Failed EICR in Gravesend

Gravesend's dense Victorian terrace rental market creates a consistent and well-understood pattern of EICR observations. The most common C2 findings across the town's older rented stock are: missing RCD protection on bathroom, kitchen and outdoor circuits in 1980s split-load consumer units; insulation resistance degradation in ring circuits that have been in continuous use since the 1950s or 1960s; and bonding deficiencies to gas and water services.

C1 observations — indicating a condition of potential danger — are less common but do occur in the town's oldest properties where original mid-century wiring remains partially in service. These must be addressed before the property can be safely let and are a priority in any remedial works schedule.

Where an EICR returns unsatisfactory, landlords in Gravesend have 28 days to complete all required works and provide tenants with written confirmation of completion. We provide a clear written quotation for all identified observations before authorising any works, and issue satisfactory documentation on completion.
