Landlord EICR codes explained: C1, C2, C3 and FI

Government guidance describes C1 as danger present, C2 as potentially dangerous, C3 as improvement recommended and FI as further investigation required without delay.

What to consider

An installation with C1, C2 or FI observations will normally be reported as unsatisfactory. The observation wording and the actual defect should guide the remedy, not the code alone.

Warning signs and safe next steps

Landlords in England should follow the current statutory timescales and provide the required reports or written confirmation to tenants and the local authority where applicable.

What helps Truvo assess the job?

Provide a clear description of the problem or planned work, the Sheffield postcode, access details and safe photographs of finished equipment only. Never remove a screwed cover or expose electrical parts for a photograph.

From initial advice to a quotation

An online enquiry can establish the likely scope, but a formal quotation follows review of the property details and any necessary inspection or testing. Every installation is different, so final design and price must reflect the actual conditions.
