Electricians in Liverpool: Renters vs homeowners

Who’s responsible for electrical work depends on whether you own or rent your home.

Homeowners: You are responsible for arranging and paying for electrical work. Certain jobs (like rewiring, fuse boxes, or work in kitchens/bathrooms) must comply with Building Regulations and need certification.

Renters: Your landlord is responsible for electrical systems and ensuring they’re safe. If something breaks, report it to your landlord or letting agent. Don’t attempt DIY fixes - they should arrange a qualified electrician to sort it.

Landlords: You’re legally required to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) carried out at least every 5 years in rented properties. This must be done by a qualified electrician.
