What this usually means

After a local repair or small replacement, the point that was worked on should be checked properly. That matters most when the fault was intermittent, the old part showed wear or heat damage, or you do not want to be left guessing whether the issue was actually resolved.

Typical solutions

  • Test the repaired point and the relevant part of the circuit that was worked on.
  • Confirm what was replaced, remade or reset, and show that the point now operates as expected.
  • Explain any limits, watch-outs or follow-on work in plain English.
  • Provide the right paperwork when the actual scope requires it.

Basic information

  • This is about the specific work carried out. It is not sold as a full EICR unless that has been booked separately.
  • The paperwork depends on what was actually done, not on a blanket promise made before the work is checked.
  • A good handover should be short, clear and practical rather than full of jargon.
  • For work that needs electrical inspection, testing, certification or notification, we arrange the appropriate registered professional and confirm responsibilities before work starts.
