Beeston has a large rental market thanks to the University of Nottingham and the tram line, and we carry out landlord, HMO and homeowner EICRs across NG9, including Chilwell, Attenborough, Bramcote, Stapleford and Toton.
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 Beeston and what we usually find
Beeston mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the centre and Rylands, inter-war semis in Chilwell and Bramcote, and a lot of student and young-professional lets.
- Student lets and HMOs close to the university are heavily used. Damaged sockets, overloaded circuits and extra appliances on kitchen circuits are common, so HMO-sized properties are priced from £249.
- Victorian terraces in Beeston Rylands and around the High Road often have older lighting circuits without an earth, which are usually coded C2 where there are metal fittings.
- Inter-war semis in Chilwell and Bramcote are often partly rewired. Mixed circuits on one consumer unit need checking carefully.
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 Beeston
Broxtowe Borough Council is the local housing authority for Beeston and Stapleford. Every private tenancy needs a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, and HMOs may also need a licence with its own conditions. With student lets changing over each summer, many landlords book EICRs between tenancies. Tell us your changeover dates and we will fit in around them.
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.
