Arnold is on our route into Nottingham from Mansfield, about thirteen miles from our base. We test homes and rentals across Arnold, Daybrook, Redhill, Woodthorpe and the Mapperley side of NG5.
Every EICR is carried out to BS 7671 by Westgate's own Level 3 qualified electricians. We never sub-contract, so the person who tests your property is the person who signs the report. Prices are fixed by property size and include VAT and the written report. The full price list is on this page.
Housing in Arnold and what we usually find
Arnold is mostly owner-occupied, with a lot of 1930s semis and detached houses, Victorian terraces near Front Street, and post-war estates such as Killisick.
- 1930s semis often keep some original wiring alongside later rewires of the kitchen or an extension. Mixed old and new circuits on one board are a common reason for C2 and C3 codes.
- Homes that have changed hands several times may have years of DIY additions. A homeowner EICR is the simplest way to find out what you have bought.
- Rentals and HMOs near the main roads fall under the same five-year rule as anywhere else in England.
None of these findings is automatic. Every circuit is tested on the day and coded on its own merits: C1 for danger present, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, and FI where something needs further investigation. Any C1 is made safe before we leave. Read more in our guide to EICR codes.
Landlords in Arnold
Gedling Borough Council is the local housing authority for Arnold. Private landlords need an EICR at least every five years and must provide it to the council within seven days if asked. If the report comes back unsatisfactory, we give you a fixed-price quote for the remedial work so you can get it done inside the 28-day window.
See our landlord EICR page for the full list of legal duties, or the HMO EICR page if the property is let to three or more people who share facilities.
