West Bridgford is just south of the Trent, about seventeen miles from our base. We test family homes, flats and lettings across NG2, plus Gamston, Edwalton and the Rushcliffe villages. One of our verified reviews is from a safety check and remedial job in NG13, just down the road.
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 West Bridgford and what we usually find
West Bridgford is mostly Edwardian and inter-war housing, with larger detached homes in Edwalton and Compton Acres, and flats around Central Avenue and Trent Bridge.
- Edwardian and 1930s homes have often been extended, with loft conversions and kitchen extensions. We check each addition is properly protected and that the original circuits can take the extra load.
- Larger detached houses may have more than one consumer unit, plus garden, garage or outbuilding supplies. These count towards the circuit total, which decides the price band.
- Flats and apartments sometimes have the landlord's supply and the flat's own board in different places. We confirm what is included before we book.
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.
