ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WHY YOU NEED AN EICR IN
LIVERPOOL
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) checks if your property's electrical system is safe. Required by law for landlords. Recommended for all Liverpool homeowners.
DETECT FIRE RISKS
Faulty wiring causes 20,000 UK fires annually. If your Liverpool property has old wiring, consider a complete house rewire
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Landlords must have valid EICR every 5 years
PROTECT TENANTS
Identify electric shock dangers before injury
SELLING YOUR HOME
Buyers request EICR before completion
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WHO NEEDS AN EICR?
Landlords
Legal requirement every 5 years or at change of tenancy. Avoid £30,000 fines. Urgent issue found? We offer same-day emergency repairs.
HMO Owners
Mandatory for licensing. Multiple tenants = higher risk = stricter rules.
Liverpool HMO landlords also need compliant fire alarm installation services alongside EICRs that meet Liverpool City Council licensing requirements.
Homeowners
Peace of mind, especially for older properties or before selling.
Home Buyers
Know what you're buying. Avoid hidden electrical problems.

James P · Wavertree
★★★★★
Needed EICR for my rental in Wavertree before new tenants moved in. Called Monday, inspection done Wednesday, certificate in my email Thursday morning. Professional service, fair pricing, will definitely use again.
Sarah M · Aigburth
★★★★★
Buying a Victorian house in Aigburth, surveyor recommended EICR. Found some old wiring issues but explained everything clearly. Got a quote to fix just what needed doing rather than whole house. Honest and reliable.
Michael T · Anfield
★★★★★
Manage several properties around Liverpool. Use these guys for all our EICRs. Always on time, certificates delivered same day every time. Great communication with tenants too. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
