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 over 20,000 UK house fires every year. An EICR identifies dangerous wiring before it becomes a fire risk in your Liverpool property.
Legal Requirement
Liverpool landlords must have a valid EICR every 5 years by law. Failure to comply risks fines of up to £30,000 and enforcement action from Liverpool City Council.
Protect Tenants
Identify electric shock dangers before someone gets hurt. An EICR gives landlords and tenants peace of mind that the property is electrically safe.
Selling Your Home
Home buyers and mortgage lenders increasingly request an EICR before completion. Having one ready speeds up your sale and avoids last-minute delays.

What Liverpool Customers Say
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 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's Required
⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance
What If My EICR Fails?
Don't worry — 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–£800 to repair.
Not dangerous, but advisable to fix. A C3 code does not cause an EICR to fail. We'll quote for the work but there's no legal obligation.
Additional checks needed to confirm safety. We'll carry these out and update your report once complete.

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is also commonly known as an electrical safety certificate or electrical certificate. It is a formal inspection of a property's electrical wiring, circuits and consumer unit, carried out by a qualified electrician and resulting in a written report graded to 18th Edition wiring regulations.
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.
