Electrical installation certificate for new work touches safety, paperwork and cost, and the three do not always point the same way.
A written record matters as much as the work. Anything we find at a CF44 address is documented in a form you can hand to someone else. Around CF44 it is notification to building control through that decides how long the visit takes.
Property in Aberdare varies street to street, so the honest answer to "what will it cost" is that it depends on an extension, loft conversion or garage conversion completing — checkable in under an hour. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.
What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Inspection and testing of the new work, with results matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone.
Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. That is checked with instruments, not by eye.
Anything we recommend is tied to a specific finding rather than to a general principle. That detail is what a proper survey is for.

What the electrical installation certificate (eic) actually covers
It is the document that proves work was done to BS 7671 and, where notifiable, that it was registered with building control. Missing certificates surface years later during a sale, when a solicitor asks for evidence of the work and there is none.
Safety first: part P of the Building Regulations covers domestic electrical work in Wales. Certain work is notifiable to building control, which a registered installer can self-certify rather than routing through a separate application.

Questions about the electrical installation certificate (eic)
What if I have had this looked at before?
Bring us the previous report if you have one. We test independently but it is useful to see what changed.
Is older wiring automatically a problem?
No. Plenty of older Aberdare installations test well. Age is a reason to check, not a verdict.
What if the property has had DIY work done?
It gets tested like anything else. A new consumer unit, rewire or added circuit is often the result of well-meant work that was never verified.
Will the power be off for long?
Only for the parts that require isolation. We plan the sequence so the Aberdare property is not dead all day.
How quickly can you attend in Aberdare?
