EICR testing in Mansfield Woodhouse

We are based in Mansfield Woodhouse, so this is the area we can reach fastest. Whether it is a terrace off the High Street, a semi near Leeming Lane or a newer home on the estates towards Sherwood Park, an EICR here is booked around you rather than around a long drive.

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 Mansfield Woodhouse and what we usually find

Mansfield Woodhouse grew from an old village centre, and the housing shows it: stone and brick cottages and Victorian terraces near the High Street and conservation area, inter-war semis along the main roads, and large post-war and modern estates to the north and east.

• Older village properties can have wiring that has been extended many times over the decades. We look closely at joints in lofts and under floors, and at cable that has been buried in plaster without RCD protection.
• Post-war semis often have their original lighting circuits with rewirable fuses or an early consumer unit swapped in without upgrading the earthing and bonding.
• Newer estates generally pass, but we still find things like outside sockets without RCD protection and garden or garage supplies that were added later.

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 Mansfield Woodhouse

Rented homes in Mansfield Woodhouse fall under Mansfield District Council as the local housing authority. Private landlords need a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, a copy given to each tenant, and any C1, C2 or FI items fixed within 28 days. Because we are local, we can usually fit a re-check of remedial work in quickly when you are working to that deadline.

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.
