    Unsatisfactory EICR with C2 and FI, advise needed

    New to this forum. Just received the first EICR report which is unsatisfactory (C2 and FI issues below). The electrician quoted for another £300 for remedial work. Is this reasonable charge, or shall I get another quote? Thank you in advance for advice.
