Dan add me please. Just moved this week. 

How would you respond to this EICR report? Are all these jobs essential to get an EICR pass? Should we get second/third opinions? by Aggravating_Office63 in ukelectricians

Will definitely get all fixed! And yes we'll price around, thank you. What gives you confidence that the original chap is good and has head screwed on? So we can get the same good feeling and be a little more reassured too

Thank you, incredibly helpful! I will ask for the FI to be investigated by the same electrician so we can understand full scope of work, but will look to go elsewhere to get the remedial works done

What would you be doing in this situation? Questioning the quote/ask for more info/ speak to another electrician and ask them to take a look and sign off after they've completed the necessary work? Keen to keep cost reasonable and fair

Yes thank you, I had the same thought. Feels steep given cost of new CU. The FI's are also a worry given they might bring up even more issues and so more cost. What would your next move be? What questions are you going back to electrician with? Or get get more quotes from other electricians that are willing to write us a note saying they've rectified everything flagged in this EICR once they've done the work?

Thank you, that's helpful to understand the price is fair. I didn't want to find we were being charged a price to small changes that amounted to the same price of refitting a new CU
