EICR Remedial Works in Norfolk: Replacing Outdated Consumer Units
When an electrical inspection identifies safety concerns, the next step is to turn its findings into a clear programme of corrective work. Electric11 carried out EICR remedial works in Norfolk, replacing outdated consumer units and addressing C1 and C2 issues recorded in the inspection report.
The project brought together distribution equipment replacement and attention to the wider installation. Further work on an office ring circuit and switchgear was also planned. The brief states that a new satisfactory EICR is intended on completion; its issue is not yet confirmed in the supplied information.

The challenge: correcting the issues behind the EICR
An Electrical Installation Condition Report helps identify damage, deterioration and electrical safety concerns in an existing installation. It provides the findings on which remedial work can be based.
At this Norfolk site, the project centred on the consumer units and associated issues identified during inspection. The brief also records C1 and C2 observations. In general, C1 indicates danger present, while C2 indicates a potentially dangerous condition requiring urgent action. Electrical Safety First’s guidance on EICR safety codes explains the distinction.
The individual defects and their code assignments are not detailed in the project summary. The case study therefore records the confirmed scope without attributing a particular fault to a particular circuit or board.
The solution: replacement consumer units
Electric11 replaced outdated consumer units as part of the remedial programme. This was a defined equipment change within the wider work arising from the EICR, rather than a standalone cosmetic update.
The photographs document existing distribution equipment, labelled conductors during the changeover, new board interiors and enclosed boards with identification and warning labels. Together, they illustrate different stages of the equipment work. The final enclosed-board photograph offers the clearest overview for the case study’s featured image.
For property owners considering a similar upgrade, Electric11’s consumer unit replacement service in Norfolk provides a route to discussing the existing equipment and the replacement required. The exact board count and RCD arrangement for the job need confirmation before those specifications can be reported.
Associated circuit and switchgear work
Replacing distribution equipment was one part of the scope. The brief also lists planned remedial actions relating to the office ring circuit and issues within the switchgear.
These tasks remain described as planned because the supplied record does not verify their completion. Conduit condition and conductor sizes are also flagged for checking; no particular repair method or cable specification is claimed here.
For anyone managing electrical equipment in a workplace, the HSE’s guidance on maintaining electrical equipment safely provides useful context for ongoing inspection and maintenance.

The Electric11 Remedial Works Process
Electric11’s published process follows assessment, quotation, installation, and testing and certification. The stages below apply that general approach to this type of project, alongside the work documented for the job.
Assessment and scope review
Review the EICR findings and the existing distribution equipment, wiring, supply and access. For this job, the brief identifies consumer units and associated safety issues, with further attention planned for the office ring circuit and switchgear.
Clear quotation and work planning
Describe the proposed repairs, equipment, expected timescale and next steps. A quotation for similar work should make clear which inspection observations it addresses and how any additional repairs will be agreed.
Equipment replacement and remedial work
Carry out the agreed corrective work and equipment changes. The confirmed work for the job includes replacement consumer units and addressing C1 and C2 issues; the additional circuit and switchgear actions remain unverified.
Testing, certification and records
Complete the relevant testing and provide the appropriate documentation. The project brief states that a satisfactory EICR will be issued on completion. Individual test readings, installation certificates and the final report are not supplied, so completed certification is not claimed.
The supplied project brief confirms replacement of outdated consumer units and work addressing C1 and C2 issues identified in the EICR. It does not confirm the number of units replaced or a detailed list of individual defects.
C1 means danger is present and immediate action is needed to make the situation safe. C2 means the condition is potentially dangerous and urgent remedial action is required. The precise defects assigned these codes for Job 2580 are not supplied.
The supplied brief says that a new satisfactory EICR will be issued upon completion of the remedial works. It does not confirm that the report has already been issued, so the final outcome remains unverified in this case study.
The project brief lists additional remedial actions for the office ring circuit and switchgear as planned. Their completion is not confirmed in the supplied information.
The cost depends on the inspection findings, board specification, circuit arrangements, access and any associated repairs. No price was supplied for the job. Electric11 can review the installation and provide a quotation for the required work.
