EICR report and £900 remedial work - seems fair?

Thanks, the work has already been done though :) Would using a non-calibrated test instrument invalid this report for all intents and purposes? How can he prove the machine he used is accurate and whether he tested the new fuse board competently?

Sorry, one mistake above. The original report was also unsatisfactory. There was a C2 for the socket. Nothing else mentioned apart from a recommendation to upgrade the fuse board which I was content to do. I have emailed the electrician and asked him about some of the things that have been...

Just to be clear, my issue is not the price of the works done as such - because they seem fair. I just want to be satisfied that the inspector has not been overly strict and is charging me for work that didn't need doing. So should some of the C2's have been C3's and the decision left to me...

EICR report and £900 remedial work - seems fair?

Hello, I felt hot sockets in my house. I called an electrician who said the fuse board was dangerous - just by looking at it. Horrified was the word used. He carried out testing and did some other work. £120 for the report £140 for bonding to gas and water services £80 for T&E cable to front...
