Electrical work question

We had some work done on our kitchen. It turned out that the fitter who did electric work was not certified to do it. I called a certified electrician to certify his work. Yesterday, upon completion of testing, he said he wasn't able to certify it and some work will need to be redone. 

Attached is a copy of the so called faults he found. Would anyone here have any idea of the ballpark range that it may cost to have these remediated please? Thank you in advance.

    Difficult to tell because some of the items are one-off, and some relate to an unspecified number of instances.

    Tracing wiring faults will require a variable amount of time depending on the complexity.

    IIRC, 'C2' 'C3' is just 'Improvement recommended'
    If the work was kitchen only, I don't think that it was necessary to make changes in the CU such as adding an optional surge protection.

    Ask the guy who refused to certify the work to give you a price to do the remedial work would be the easiest thing to do.

    I presume that C2 was a typo and that you ment C3.

    Yes, thank you. Corrected.
