- 1. As a rule, survey and distribution board schedule so we know what needs isolating and when

- 4. Report issued with coded observations plus a priced remedial schedule
Fixed wire testing for businesses sits somewhere between routine and urgent depending on what the property is doing right now.
Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. For ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach that detail matters more than it does elsewhere.
Where previous work has no certification behind it, we test it rather than take it on trust. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.
Work in Aberdare is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. That is the honest version, rather than the version that sells more work.
Most enquiries reaching us from Aberdare arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. It is the difference between a fixed price and an estimate.
The practical question for a Aberdare property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. Nothing about it is unusual for property of that age.
The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. On a Aberdare job that usually shows up as report issued with coded observations.
If the property is being sold or let, tell us the deadline and we will be honest about whether it is achievable. If none of this matches what your property is doing, call and describe it — the answer may be simpler than the page suggests.
Where the property has been altered or extended, a lease requirement or a landlord's schedule of condition is the common finding.
A client or framework audit requiring current certification, which is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.
A five-year cycle reaching expiry, particularly where the installation has been extended piecemeal.
Not glamorous, but common: an insurance renewal asking for evidence of electrical maintenance.
Expect phased testing agreed against your operating hours to take up the first part of the appointment.
Dead and live testing per circuit, with results recorded. That covers the part most people are unsure about.
Report issued with coded observations plus a priced remedial, which is what turns a symptom into a diagnosis.
Survey and distribution board schedule so we know what, then the findings are written up before we leave Aberdare.
Written with Aberdare housing and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council requirements in mind.

What the electrical installation condition report (commercial) actually covers
Fixed wire testing is the commercial name for periodic inspection and testing of the installation — everything hard-wired, as opposed to the plug-in equipment covered by appliance testing. It produces the same EICR document, scaled to a commercial distribution system.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained so as to prevent danger. Periodic inspection and testing is the standard method of demonstrating that duty has been met.
Why people in Aberdare ask for it

Questions about the electrical installation condition report (commercial)
Is this notifiable work?
It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.
Do you handle larger planned projects?
Yes, phased across a programme so the Aberdare site stays usable while work proceeds.
Can I use my own materials?
If they are suitable and certified, yes. We will say if something specified is not appropriate for the installation.
Do you charge to come out and look?
Attendance and testing are quoted before we travel to Aberdare, so there is nothing added afterwards that was not agreed.
How quickly can you attend in Aberdare?
Small commercial units are typically a day. Larger sites are phased across agreed windows so trading is not interrupted. Commercial calls in Aberdare cluster around Hirwaun Industrial Estate; domestic calls spread across the rest of CF44.
