EICR Testing & Inspections in Wirral

Landlords and management agents have a legislative obligation to ensure tenants are not at risk. That means electrical safety should be top of the agenda for anyone responsible for letting commercial or domestic property. Many landlords take the wise decision to undertake regular electrical inspections to guarantee their electrical systems and appliances are up to scratch. Not only does this provide peace of mind to both tenant and landlord, but it also ensures minor electrical problems are identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity.

Peninsula Electrical can meet all your electrical testing needs. We’re affiliates of the National Association for Professional Inspectors and Testers (NAPIT) and pride ourselves on our comprehensive electrical testing. We understand that landlords and management agents often require services at short notice, so we strive to work quickly and efficiently.

All our electrical tests are accompanied by an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) that details the condition of your electrical systems and appliances. We will outline where problems lie, how they can be remedied and also provide a no-obligation estimate of any repair work that may be needed.

For more information on how Peninsula Electrical can meet your electrical report and certification needs, contact us on 0151 668 0794, or submit an enquiry.


Benefits of an Electrical Installation Report

An electrical installation condition report (EICR), sometimes referred to as an electrical installation report, can give you peace of mind, assured safety, and long-term savings. Other benefits of getting an electrical installation report include:

  • Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Having an EICR is legal requirement; rental properties in the UK must have a valid EICR every five years. Our electrical installation reports also support insurance compliance.
  • Clear Documentation: Having an updated electrical installation report can be a valuable asset for selling a house as it can reassure buyers and tenants that the electricity of the property is in working condition.
  • Cost Saving and Energy Benefits: Since outdated electrical installations can waste energy, an electrical installation report can identify modern upgrades which can save you energy and money.
  • Improved Safety: A full EICR can locate hazards like faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and worn out components that could cause issues down the line.

Who Needs an EICR in Wirral?

An EICR is essential for anyone responsible for the safety of a property’s electrical system. Whether you’re a landlord, business owner, or managing a public sector building, it’s crucial to keep your electrical installations up to standard.

Here’s who needs an EICR:

EICR Wirral for Residential

  • Private landlords: As a landlord, you’ve got a legal duty to ensure your tenants’ safety. A valid EICR is required every five years, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your property is safe and compliant.
  • Social landlords (Housing associations, councils): Electrical safety is paramount in social housing. Keeping up with regular EICRs ensures your tenants are safe and the property meets regulations.
  • Letting agents/property managers: If you’re managing properties for landlords, an EICR ensures you’re meeting legal obligations and protecting your tenants’ safety.
  • Homeowners: Even if you’re not legally required to get an EICR, it’s a smart move for homeowners who want to ensure their electrical systems are safe, efficient, and up to date.

EICR Wirral for Commercial & Business

  • Business owners & commercial property owners: It’s your responsibility to ensure your workplace is safe for employees and customers. An up-to-date EICR helps with both safety and insurance compliance.
  • Employers/duty holders for workplaces: If you’re responsible for a workplace, you need to make sure the electrical systems are safe and fully compliant. An EICR highlights any potential hazards that could disrupt your business.
  • Property developers: Whether you’re building, refurbishing, or selling a property, an EICR is essential to ensure all electrical installations meet the necessary safety standards.
  • Insurance policy holders: Many insurance providers now require an EICR as part of their policy, particularly if you’re claiming for an electrical fault.

EICR Wirral for Public Sector & Institutions

  • Schools, colleges, and universities: Electrical safety is critical in educational settings, where students and staff rely on safe and reliable systems.
  • Hospitals & healthcare providers: For hospitals and care settings, electrical safety ensures patient and staff safety every day.
  • Care homes and sheltered housing: In care homes, safeguarding vulnerable residents is a top priority. EICRs make sure that electrical systems remain safe and fully functional.

What’s Included in an Electrical Installation Condition Report?

An EICR is an essential safety check for your property’s electrical system. Here’s what you’ll get in your report:

  • An overview of the electrical system: We’ll assess the overall condition of your electrical installations, from circuits to fuse boxes, ensuring everything is in safe working order.
  • Identification of any potential hazards: If there’s a problem (e.g. faulty wiring, outdated components, or overloaded circuits), we’ll be sure to find it and flag it. Early detection helps you avoid bigger, more costly issues down the line.
  • Compliance check with regulations: We’ll confirm whether your property meets the latest electrical safety standards and regulations (BS 7671), so you stay legally compliant.
  • Detailed testing of electrical components: Every element of your system is tested to make sure it’s functioning properly. This includes sockets, switches, circuit boards, and more.
  • Clear recommendations for any necessary work: If repairs or upgrades are needed, we’ll let you know exactly what needs fixing and how to do it—no jargon, just clear advice.
  • Estimated costs for any work: For complete transparency, we’ll provide a free, no-obligation estimate for any repairs, so you can plan ahead without any surprises.
  • Condition ratings: We’ll give each part of your electrical system a rating, so you can see at a glance what’s in good shape and what needs attention.
  • Certification issued: Once the inspection’s complete, you’ll receive a certificate confirming the condition of your electrical system. Ideal for keeping your records up to date or for showing to tenants or insurers.

    We had an electrical fault at home overnight. I contacted Peninsula first thing, having never used them before and finding them online. There was no messing about. Phil was at the house on the same day, diagnosed the problem, made everything safe for us and arranged a full repair. Clear unambiguous pricing, full explanation, perfect communication and swift, professional service. No up-selling, no waffle, just straightforward honesty and professionalism. Everything is fixed and safe for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this company.
