Went to quote, discovered recent EICR has fabricated results. How to proceed with client?

Out of interest, why did they want a different electrician doing the remedials?

I think he just wanted some quotes for the remedial work from different electricians.

It is the trend nowadays to get different electrician as there is a conflict of interests in EICR and remedials.

Yeah - nice to see a customer with a bit of nouse.

When I do EICRs, it’s on the basis that I just do the inspection and make the report.
I’m not Part P registered so I would tell them I can’t do any of the remedial work.
I have done some stuff, such as blank off a socket, add an RCD socket, mark up switch wires, put labels on CUs, sleeving on CPCs, etc.
I feel it’s better for them to know, I’m not touting for work.

all you do is make customer aware of what needs doing, point out any discrepancies in the original eicr, quote a price. then it's up to him/her/it (we have to be gender neutral these days .)

nothing wrong with you doing remedial works. these are not subject to part pee unless you need to add a new circuit/change a DB/alter wiring in a special location/install electric UFH.

No there’s nothing wrong with me doing them.
It’s just that I often don’t want to.
Telling them I can’t do them because I’m not registered, usually stops then from asking.

Indeed there is no such thing as part P registered.

George, he means he's not registered with a scheme for the purposes of signing off domestic work. As you well know.
