Long Eaton sits right on the Derby and Nottingham border and grew up around the lace industry, so the older parts of town are full of Victorian terraces, plenty of them now rented. That mix drives a lot of what we do here: rewires on tired older properties, and landlord EICRs across the rental stock, with any remedial work handled and certified. The interwar and modern housing that fills out the rest of the town tends to want consumer unit upgrades and EV charger installs. It's a busy, self-contained town with its own electrician demand, so being genuinely local matters to people here.

Homes in Long Eaton
Long Eaton grew after the railways came in 1839 and 1844, and passed 10,000 people by 1900 on the back of Victorian houses and lace factories. Big mills still stand, such as High Street Mill of 1857, Harrington Mill of 1885 and Bridge Mill of 1902 to 1906, and the town has a Lace Factories conservation area. The old speedway stadium site is now houses and flats. In terraces from that era we often find old boards, lighting circuits with no earth and missing bonding, plus decades of additions with no paperwork.

Asked in Long Eaton
Can you fit an EV charger on a terrace with no driveway in Long Eaton?
Only if you have off-street parking you control, such as a yard or a space at the back. A charging cable can't be run across a public pavement without the highway authority's permission. If the car is parked on the street, a public charger is the realistic option for now.
I let several terraces in Long Eaton. What happens if an EICR comes back unsatisfactory?
The law gives you 28 days to have the faults put right, or less if the report says so. Then you send written confirmation of the work to the tenant and the council within 28 days. We price the remedial work separately, and you can choose who carries it out.
