Our qualified electricians carry out EICRs for domestic, rental and commercial properties. We can usually arrange appointments quickly so you’re never left waiting to get your certification sorted.
An EICR is a formal inspection that our electricians carry out to check a property’s fixed electrical installations, including all wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit. Our report will identify any damage, wear, defects or non-compliance with current safety standards that are a risk.
Our electricians will carry out a thorough visual and physical inspection of your property’s electrical installation, including:
Once we’ve carried out the inspection, the EICR is graded using:
A property will only receive a pass on the report if there are no C1 or C2 codes outstanding.
We will explain all findings with upfront pricing and never any hidden costs. If any remedial work is needed, we will provide you with a clear quote before we carry anything out.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords in Liverpool are legally required to have their properties inspected by a qualified person at least every 5 years and to provide tenants with a copy of the report.
An EICR is not a legal requirement for homeowners, but we often carry them out as they’re recommended when buying a property, before major renovation work, or simply as routine peace of mind if your home hasn’t been inspected in the last 10 years.
Commercial premises should have regular EICRs as part of their health and safety obligations, and many insurers require an up-to-date report to maintain cover.
As well as EICRs for homeowners, landlords and commercial businesses in Liverpool, we also provide emergency fault-finding and electrical testing services.
Some electrical problems can be hidden. For emergency fault finding, our Liverpool electricians use advanced diagnostic equipment to detect electrical dangers that might be found in walls, circuits or consumer units.
We always resolve the issue with lasting repairs and carry out further tests to figure out why the problem happened in the first place, and to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
Services include:
Electrical fires are responsible for around 18% of workplace fires as well as affecting 20,000 houses a year and are often caused by circuit overloads, when too many appliances are running at once. They may also occur due to other hidden electrical dangers, such as overheated appliances or when wires degrade over time.
Electrical fires can often be prevented, typically by using Residual Current Device (RCD) protection, which detects dangerous imbalances in electrical currents before they are able to start a fire and disconnect them automatically. At D.R. Electrical Limited, we can offer both RCD protection and the installation of smoke and fire alarms to ensure your safety.
Emergency lighting ensures safety in the event of a power failure. Emergency lighting is a legal requirement, and it can make evacuation much slower and more dangerous.
A fuse box that’s prone to frequent tripping can also be another source of electrical fires, which is why it’s important to seek professional support immediately.
In these circumstances, it’s crucial to get professional support. Our qualified team can provide expert advice on your next steps or offer a fuse box replacement.
Faulty electrical equipment and sockets cause approximately 70 deaths and 350,000 injuries annually in UK homes.
Frequently tripping sockets and switches shouldn’t be ignored and, like electrical fires, can be prevented using RCD protection.
Burning smells, tripping circuit breakers and flickering lights shouldn’t be ignored. Solving the issue early can prevent more serious dangers like hidden leaks and electrical fires.
As soon as you get in touch, we can offer you practical advice straight away. Explanations of the issue are made clear, and we give upfront pricing with no hidden costs.
Our main priority is ensuring your safety, so we can reassure you if the problem isn’t urgent with no unnecessary work or upselling.
