Electrical work in Rock Ferry & Tranmere
Rock Ferry and Tranmere run along the Mersey between Birkenhead and New Ferry. The streets are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many now rented or split into flats, with the early Victorian villas of Rock Park, one of the first planned residential estates of its kind, in its own conservation area by the river.
A lot of our work here is for landlords: electrical safety reports every five years, the remedial work that follows, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and full rewires between tenancies. For homeowners, the big jobs are rewires in older terraces and replacing old fuse boards.

Questions from Rock Ferry & Tranmere
How often does a rented home in Rock Ferry need an EICR?
In England, at least every five years, or sooner if the last report says so. You must give a copy to tenants within 28 days, fix any faults it finds within 28 days or sooner, and give the council a copy within 7 days if they ask.
Can you do remedial work after another company's EICR?
Yes. Send Carl the report and he'll quote for the items listed, do the work and give you written confirmation for your records and your tenants.
Do you work in Rock Park?
Yes. It's a conservation area, so Carl keeps anything on the outside of the houses discreet, and plans rewires to protect the original interiors.
