If the property has been altered, extended or let out, electrical installation certificate for new work deserves more than a quick look.
Missing certificates surface years later during a sale, when a solicitor asks for evidence of the work and there is none. If the property is tenanted, the visit is arranged around access rather than around us, which usually means confirming times with whoever holds the keys. It rarely changes the price, but it does change the plan.
Whether the property is owner-occupied or let in Bridgend, the technical work is identical — only the paperwork's recipient changes. We would rather rule out design and installation to BS early than discover it late.

Questions about the electrical installation certificate (eic)
Is the work guaranteed?
Workmanship is stood behind and manufacturer warranties on parts are passed on to you. We do not offer guarantees we cannot honour.
What is not included?
Building work, decoration and anything outside the electrical scope. Those are flagged rather than absorbed.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A realistic range, yes. A firm figure follows the testing, because a new consumer unit, rewire or added circuit and a simpler cause look identical from the outside.
Can you advise without doing the work?
Yes. Plenty of Bridgend visits end with advice and no invoice for work that is not needed yet.
Do you cover Bridgend?
Yes — Bridgend, Porthcawl, Maesteg, Pencoed and the wider South Wales area.
