Real EICR reviews from Liverpool homeowners and landlords.
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.
Buying a Victorian house in Aigburth, surveyor recommended an EICR. Found some old wiring issues but explained everything clearly. Got a quote to fix just what needed doing. Honest and reliable.
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. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

What If My EICR Fails?
Most issues are simple fixes. We explain everything clearly and provide a fair written quote with no pressure.
Immediate action required. The circuit is isolated until the fault is fixed. We can usually carry out emergency repairs same day.
Urgent repairs needed. Common example: missing RCD protection. Property fails until fixed. Most C2 issues cost £150 to £800 to repair.
Not dangerous, but advisable to fix. A C3 code does not cause an EICR to fail. We quote for the work but there's no legal obligation.
Additional checks needed to confirm safety. We carry these out and update your report once complete.

EICR Certificate Liverpool: What It Actually Is
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is also commonly known as an electrical safety certificate or electrical certificate. It is a formal electrical inspection of a property's wiring, electrical circuits and consumer unit, carried out by a qualified electrician and graded to 18th Edition wiring regulations.
The electrical inspection covers every accessible circuit in the property, including safety checks on the consumer unit, earthing, bonding and sockets. An Electrical Installation Condition Report identifies deterioration, overloaded electrical circuits, and any fire hazards caused by ageing or damaged wiring.
In Liverpool, EICRs are most commonly requested by landlords ahead of new tenancies, home buyers before completing a purchase, and homeowners wanting to check the safety of older properties. This includes the many Victorian terraces across Toxteth, Wavertree and Anfield where outdated wiring can present real fire hazards if left uninspected.
Why Choose Ideal Electrical?
We have completed over 2,700 EICRs across Liverpool. Our NICEIC approved electricians know the area well, from Georgian terraces in Canning to ex-council homes in Speke, Victorian properties in Wavertree to modern developments in the Baltic Triangle.
Our certificates are accepted by Liverpool City Council, all major letting agents, mortgage lenders and solicitors. We email your certificate within 24 hours and carry out any remedial work at a fixed, agreed price.
