Why You Need an EICR on the Wirral
An EICR checks whether your Wirral property's electrical installation is safe. Required by law for landlords across all CH postcodes.
Detect Fire Risks Early
The Wirral has a high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian properties where original wiring is still in place. These installations present a genuine fire risk that an EICR will identify before it becomes a tragedy.
Legal Requirement
Wirral landlords must have a valid EICR every 5 years under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards regulations. Failure to comply risks fines of up to £30,000 and enforcement action from Wirral Council.
Protect Your Tenants
Identify electric shock risks before someone is hurt. The Wirral rental sector is significant and landlords who stay compliant protect their tenants and avoid costly enforcement action.
Selling Your Wirral Home
Buyers of Wirral properties increasingly request an EICR before exchange of contracts. Having one ready prevents delays and gives buyers confidence in the condition of the installation.

What Wirral Customers Say
Real EICR reviews from Wirral homeowners and landlords
EICR certificates done on five HMO properties across Birkenhead over two days. All reports emailed the same day each inspection was completed. Bulk pricing applied and all documentation was exactly what Wirral Council required for our licences. Exceptional service.
Needed an EICR on our Heswall property ahead of selling. Two C2 observations were found and both fixed on the same visit for a fair additional charge. The report genuinely helped reassure our buyers and we sold at asking price without any negotiation on the electrics.
Urgent EICR needed for a Wallasey flat before a new tenancy started on the Monday. Called on Friday, inspection done Saturday morning, certificate in my inbox by Saturday lunchtime. Cannot ask for better than that as a landlord with tight turnarounds.
Legal Requirements for Wirral Landlords
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, all Wirral landlords must comply.
What Is Required
⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance
What If My Wirral EICR Fails?
Do not worry. Most issues are straightforward fixes. We explain everything clearly and provide a fair written quote.
Immediate action required. The circuit is isolated until the fault is fixed. We carry out emergency repairs the same day in most cases across the Wirral.
Urgent repairs required within 28 days. Common on older Wirral properties: missing RCD protection, poor earthing and deteriorated wiring. Most C2 issues cost £150 to £800 to resolve.
Not dangerous but advisable to address. A C3 code alone does not cause an EICR to fail. We will quote for the work but there is no legal obligation to proceed immediately.
Additional testing needed to confirm safety. We carry out the required investigation and update your report once the findings are clear.
