Book the inspectionThe starting question with electrical installation certificate for new work is always the same: what does the existing installation test at?
A property in Caerphilly that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. It is the kind of detail that separates a tidy job from a callback.
Work in Caerphilly is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. If it turns out not to apply here, you will be told that plainly.
Most enquiries reaching us from Caerphilly arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. Certificate issued with the installation, is the part worth confirming rather than assuming.
The practical question for a Caerphilly property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.
The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion.
Nothing gets replaced because it looks old. It gets replaced because it fails a test. There is no benefit to us in recommending work that testing does not support, and plenty of downside.
Properties near Cardiff throw this up regularly: an extension, loft conversion or garage conversion completing.
Work carried out previously by someone who never issued — the finding that most often explains the symptom you described.
A new consumer unit, rewire or added circuit, especially on circuits that were extended rather than replaced.
A solicitor's enquiry during a sale asking for evidence — more likely where earlier work was never certificated.
Certificate issued with the installation, inspection and testing declarations — measured, not estimated.
Notification to building control through our registration where, which is what turns a symptom into a diagnosis.
Design and installation to BS 7671 with the schedule — done in front of you if you want to watch.
Inspection and testing of the new work, with results, then the findings are written up before we leave Caerphilly.
References to local streets and areas are to Caerphilly itself, not the wider region.

What the electrical installation certificate (eic) actually covers
New circuits, consumer unit replacements and rewires are certified with an Electrical Installation Certificate rather than a condition report. The EIC records the design, construction, inspection and testing of the work and carries the installer's declaration against each.
Whatever the cause: 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.

What the result can say
Caerphilly context
The steep mountain road access to Senghenydd and Abertridwr means we plan EV charger and consumer unit deliveries around weather windows, which is a recurring theme in Caerphilly reports.
The local mix includes castle-area cafés and retail and Pontygwindy trade units, which changes what we carry on the van.
Work in Newport is scheduled alongside Caerphilly, which usually means shorter waits for both.
