Answers
Who Will Turn Up at Your Door?
Most of our reviews name him, so it seems fair to introduce him properly.
Michael, founder and lead electrician
Michael started Ideal Electrical Solutions and still does the difficult jobs himself. Fault finding at two in the morning. EICRs on old Liverpool terraces. Fuse boards that nobody else wants to touch.
If you ring the number on this page, you are speaking to the person who runs the firm, not a call centre.
What Liverpool Customers Say
Real Google reviews from Liverpool homeowners and landlords.
Had a call from Tom within 30 mins of submitting a website enquiry and arranged an emergency EICR for a home sale the following day. There was some unexpected but absolutely necessary remedial work to be done to make the electrics safe. Tom organised for Josh to come and complete the work that same day. The whole team were incredibly personable and polite and completed the work to a high standard. THIS is the way to run a business and leave the customer not just happy but blown away with the level of service.
Absolutely brilliant service from Michael. Had no electric due to burnt out main fuse. Answered phone straight away and issue was fixed within 90 minutes. Highly recommend. Thank you.
Can't thank the lads enough for their excellent job on our bungalow. A full rewire in 3 days, all hands on deck and promises met. Massive thanks to Michael and Tom and all the lads who minimised any damage to basically nothing. I fully recommend this company. There's not many out there who do what these lads do. They go that extra mile for you. I will definitely be back when we install our water feature.
Great friendly service at a great price. Quickly sorted a wiring fault tripping the lights circuit and wired up a heated towel rail. A big thanks to Tom and Josh.
Michael fit us in at short notice when our fuse switch socket started smoking. Communication was great. Price was reasonable for an emergency call out. We were pleased with the work and would definitely use him again for other electrical jobs.
I gave Michael a call on Thursday and he came out Friday and got the job finished very quickly, very professional and to a high standard. Needed a new light fitted that had to be moved over slightly, very happy with the outcome of the completed work. I would highly recommend Ideal Electrical Solutions and will definitely be using them again in the future.
Exceptional service from start to finish. Michael works to a standard that's genuinely hard to find: precise, organised, and consistently professional. Everything was quick and smooth, from the first contact and clear quote to the high-quality completion of the job. Very tidy work, with far less mess and disruption than I expected. He takes the time to explain what he's doing and he comes across as genuinely trustworthy. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled service.
Michael came to fix my light switch I was having problems with. No messing around, very polite and quick. Was done in less than an hour. Would definitely recommend.
I couldn't fault the services from Ideal Electrical Solutions in the slightest, they are absolutely fantastic. My partner and I are first-time buyers and wanted to get an EICR due to the age of the house. I submitted a request online at 3.30pm and Tom called within half an hour. He offered to do the inspection that same day and called back hours later having completed the job. His recommendations for work that needed doing were really clear. I will definitely be calling back if the sale goes through. Thanks Tom.
I cannot recommend Ideal Electrical Solutions enough. They were faultless from start to finish. From contacting me pretty much immediately after my enquiry, to discussing the job, getting me a quote and booking the visit in, the whole experience was perfect. The standard of the work was 10/10 and the engineer was prompt, professional and completed the job to the highest standard. Big thanks to Tom for co-ordinating everything and to Josh for his work on site.
Liverpool's Local Electricians
What you need to know about working with us.
Ideal Electrical Solutions is a Liverpool firm. We are based at 5 Sir Thomas Street in the city centre. We are an NICEIC Approved Contractor and our team is DBS checked. We cover every Liverpool postcode. We work in homes, rented houses and business premises. Every job is signed off when we finish.
Why people choose us
- NICEIC Approved Contractor. Domestic, commercial and landlord certificates all covered.
- Fixed hourly rates, published. £80 weekday, £120 weekend morning, £150 Emergency Rate. One hour minimum. No callout fee.
- Parts charged at cost. No markup on materials.
- A real person answers, day or night. Not voicemail, not a call centre.
- Written quote before work starts. The quote is what you pay.

Are we qualified?
Yes, fully. We are a NICEIC Approved Contractor. That covers domestic, commercial and industrial work. We also hold the Rented Sector scheme for landlord certificates. Every one of our electricians holds a JIB Gold Card. All work meets 18th Edition BS 7671. Everything is certified on completion. You can check us on the NICEIC register before you book.
Is our work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a full NICEIC certificate. We hold £2 million of public liability cover. If something is not right, we come back and put it right. Our name in Liverpool rests on every job we do.
What we do not do
Worth saying plainly, so nobody wastes a phone call. We do not fit mixer or boiler fed showers, and we do not repair them. We do not do gas work or solar panels.
Mixer showers, gas safety certificates and plumbing go to our sister company, Liverpool Emergency Plumber. Ring us anyway and we will point you the right way.
Do we work on old Liverpool homes?
Yes. It is what we specialise in. Liverpool has one of the highest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian housing in England. Much of it still has old wiring that poses a real safety risk. We know these older Liverpool homes inside out. HSE guidance recommends regular inspection of any older electrical installation.
Do landlords need an EICR?
Yes. Since 2020 UK law requires every landlord in England to hold a valid EICR, renewed every 5 years. Liverpool City Council actively enforces this. Fines reach £40,000 per property for non-compliance. We issue same-day certificates from £99.
Areas We Cover
We cover every Liverpool postcode. City centre, north end, south Liverpool and out east. Anfield, Aigburth, Wavertree, Woolton, Childwall, West Derby, Bootle and Crosby are all standard callouts. We also work across Wirral, St Helens, Warrington, Southport and Formby. Rates are the same wherever you are.

SMALL JOBSDo you take small jobs?

RESPONSEHow quickly can you come out?
We aim to be with you in 30 minutes on an emergency, day or night. Other jobs can often be done the same day if we have a slot. Pre-booked work usually within 1 to 3 working days depending on scope.
QUOTESDo you do free quotes and site visits?
Yes. Free site visits and written quotes for any job over £200. The quote is what you pay. No surprise bills.
PRICEIs the quote really the final price?
Yes. The written quote we send is what you pay. If we find an unexpected issue on site, we stop. We explain what we found. We then agree any extra cost with you before continuing. No surprise bills, ever.
CHECKSHow do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Search the NICEIC register by postcode or company name. It shows whether they are registered and what they are covered for. Then check three more things. Is the quote in writing? Will they certify the work? And what do the reviews say?
DIYCan I do my own electrical work in the UK?
Some of it, yes. Like for like swaps are allowed. You can change a socket, a switch or a light fitting yourself. New circuits, consumer unit changes and bathroom work are different. Those are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. They must be done by a registered electrician, or signed off by building control. We are registered, so we self-certify. You pay no council fee.
SCOPEAre you domestic or commercial electricians?
Both. We work in homes and rented houses. We also cover shops, offices and industrial units. Our NICEIC registration covers all three. For business work see our commercial electrician Liverpool page.
GUARANTEEWhat if something goes wrong after you have left?
We come back and put it right. All our work is guaranteed. New jobs carry at least a 12 month warranty on the work. Bigger jobs carry a 10 year guarantee. We hold £2 million of public liability cover.
Give us a ring. We'll do the rest.
