Hucknall sits at the southern end of Ashfield, about twelve miles from our Mansfield Woodhouse base. We test rented homes, family houses and small businesses across NG15, plus the villages of Linby, Papplewick and Bestwood Village.
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 Hucknall and what we usually find
Hucknall has a dense core of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and the old pit, post-war council housing, and a lot of modern estates built since the tram arrived.
- Victorian terraces often have rear extensions and loft conversions wired at different times by different people. We check that each addition is protected properly and that the original circuits can safely take the extra load.
- Older consumer units with rewirable fuses or no RCD protection are still common. They are not automatically a fail, but they are usually coded depending on what else we find.
- Newer homes around the edge of town tend to pass, provided nothing has been added without certification since they were built.
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 Hucknall
Hucknall is part of Ashfield District Council's area for housing enforcement. With the tram making Hucknall popular with Nottingham commuters, many terraces here are let. Each tenancy needs a valid EICR, a copy for the tenant before they move in, and remedial work done within 28 days if the report is unsatisfactory.
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.
