Sutton-in-Ashfield is about five miles from our Mansfield Woodhouse base, and we have customers across NG17. From terraces around the town centre to homes in Skegby, Stanton Hill and Huthwaite, we carry out landlord, homeowner and commercial EICRs at the same fixed prices we charge in Mansfield.
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 Sutton-in-Ashfield and what we usually find
Sutton grew as a textile and mining town, and much of its housing reflects that: long runs of brick terraces, former colliery and council housing in Stanton Hill, Skegby and Huthwaite, and newer estates on the edges of town.
- Terraces and colliery housing often have older lighting circuits without an earth conductor, and earthing and bonding that predate modern standards. These are among the most common reasons for a C2.
- Council-built homes that have been bought and modernised piecemeal can have an older board feeding new kitchens and extensions, sometimes with circuits overloaded or unprotected by an RCD.
- Small shops and units on the high street and the industrial estates may need a commercial EICR rather than a domestic one. We quote these after a short call.
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.
