A short guide to holiday lets and guest accommodation for Caerphilly property, written by the person who would do the work.
Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. If it turns out not to apply here, you will be told that plainly.
Access is part of the job here. Caerphilly properties vary from open loft space to boarded conversions, and that changes how long a visit takes. Around Caerphilly County Borough Council that is a familiar finding rather than an alarming one.
We treat Caerphilly as its own round rather than an outlying job, which is why work in Cardiff tends to be scheduled alongside it. It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards.
The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. In practice that means checking outdoor lighting, hot tub before anything is replaced.
Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. It is written into the report either way, so nothing is hidden.
If you have had conflicting advice, it is usually because someone quoted without checking interlinked smoke and heat detection plus carbon monoxide alarms. Two electricians looking at the same readings tend to agree. Anyone testing properly will reach the same conclusion.
If none of this matches what your property is doing, call and describe it — the answer may be simpler than the page suggests. If a part needs ordering, you will know the timescale before we leave.
Landlords and owner-occupiers in Caerphilly both see smoke and carbon monoxide detection not matched to the property.

What we actually do on these sites
- Guest-proofing: accessible isolation, clear labelling and robust accessories Simple to check, easy to miss.

The important part: guest accommodation should have a current electrical condition report, working interlinked smoke alarms and, where a fuel-burning appliance is present, a carbon monoxide alarm in that room. We certify what we install and report on what we inspect.
Caerphilly sits close to M4 J28 / J32 (about 7 miles south), which is why we can usually add a CF83 job to the same day.

Commercial questions we get asked
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.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A realistic range, yes. A firm figure follows the testing, because boards without full RCD protection in properties where guests and a simpler cause look identical from the outside.
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.
What happens if the fault does not show up on the day?
Intermittent faults get logged and monitored rather than declared fixed. We tell you plainly if it has not been reproduced.
Do you cover Caerphilly for commercial work?
Yes — Caerphilly and Cardiff, Newport are inside our standard commercial coverage, reached via the A469, A468 and A470.
In plain terms: we book into changeover gaps wherever possible so no booking is lost, and larger works are programmed into the quieter season.
