You can spend a lot on fixing an unsatisfactory eicr or very little. Which one is right depends on measurements, not on the quote.
C3 is an improvement recommendation and does not make a report unsatisfactory — which matters, because some quotes bundle C3 items in as though they were mandatory. If something falls outside what we can do properly, we say so and point you at who does it, rather than attempting it. Anyone testing properly will reach the same conclusion.
We would rather turn a Pontypridd job down than take on something we cannot certificate honestly. It rarely changes the price, but it does change the plan.
Work in Pontypridd is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. We would rather rule out carry out the work, retest early than discover it late.
Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. Most Pontypridd visits settle this within the first hour.

Pontypridd context
Treforest HMO landlords need 5-yearly EICRs plus interlinked smoke and heat alarms compliant with Welsh Government regs.
CF37–CF38 is covered on our standard rounds rather than treated as an out-of-area trip.
Anywhere between Cardiff and Pontypridd is standard coverage, not an extra.
What the remedial works certificate and reissued report actually covers
An unsatisfactory report is not a disaster; it is a list. Every observation carries a code, and the codes tell you what has to be corrected before the installation can be declared satisfactory and what is merely recommended.
Please note: where a report is unsatisfactory, remedial work should be carried out by a qualified person and evidenced with certification. In rented property, landlords are expected to act on C1, C2 and FI codes promptly.
Questions about the remedial works certificate and reissued report
Do you clean up afterwards?
Yes, and we make good where we have lifted boards or cut access. Anything larger is agreed in advance.
Do you handle larger planned projects?
Yes, phased across a programme so the Pontypridd site stays usable while work proceeds.
How long does a visit usually take?
It depends on circuit count and access. We give a time estimate for the Pontypridd address when the job is booked rather than afterwards.
Can you talk to my letting agent directly?
Yes, if you tell us who to contact. Access and reporting can both go through them.
Do you cover Pontypridd?
Yes — Pontypridd, Cardiff, Aberdare, Caerphilly and the wider Mid Glamorgan area.
