There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming. A short survey tells us which one your property is. We would rather rule out LED lighting upgrades with presence early than discover it late.
The paperwork for offices and shared workspaces is only useful if it reflects what is actually installed, which is why circuits get identified rather than assumed. Most Caerphilly visits settle this within the first hour.
Age alone does not condemn an installation. Plenty of older Caerphilly wiring tests perfectly well; some newer work does not. Older installations around CF83 show this more often than newer ones.
Property in Caerphilly varies street to street, so the honest answer to "what will it cost" is that it depends on LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming — checkable in under an hour. The schedule of results records it either way.
Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. On new-build estates around Bedwas and Trecenydd it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.
We treat Caerphilly as its own round rather than an outlying job, which is why work in Cardiff tends to be scheduled alongside it. Around CF83 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.
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.
No current EICR, more common where circuits serve more than they were designed for.
Server or comms cupboards with no dedicated supply, no is worth checking on any new-build estates around Bedwas and Trecenydd of that age.
Properties handled by Caerphilly County Borough Council building control show the same pattern: desk power fed by daisy-chained extension leads.
Lighting still on legacy fluorescent fittings with failing control. The remedy depends on what the readings say, not on the symptom alone.
You are shown LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming before we ask you to sign anything.
Fixed wire testing, board labelling and remedial works. It is the part that protects you if it is ever questioned.
Dedicated comms and server supplies with clear local isolation, so nothing is left to be discovered on a second visit.
Emergency lighting design, install and testing regime, then the findings are written up before we leave Caerphilly.
If floor boxes, dado trunking and desk power reconfiguration turns out to be unnecessary, it comes off the price.

The Caerphilly picture
Caerphilly's commercial stock concentrates around Caerphilly Business Park and Pontygwindy estate, and that is where most of our offices and shared workspaces work sits.
What tends to go wrong on these sites
The work this typically involves
- Emergency lighting design, install and testing regime
- Floor boxes, dado trunking and desk power reconfiguration It affects timing more than cost.
- In most Caerphilly cases: LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming
Whatever the cause: the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place the duty on the employer or occupier to maintain the installation safely. Periodic inspection plus an emergency lighting log is the standard way to evidence it.
So you know where you stand: office work is normally phased floor by floor or bay by bay so no team loses power for a full day, with any full isolation taken at a weekend.
Commercial questions we get asked
Do you handle larger planned projects?
Yes, phased across a programme so the Caerphilly site stays usable while work proceeds.
Can you supply the report electronically?
Yes, as a PDF the same or next working day, with the Caerphilly address and circuit schedule on it.
What happens to old parts?
They are removed and disposed of correctly, and shown to you first if you want to see what failed.
What if I disagree with a finding?
You are welcome to get a second opinion. The readings are on the certificate so anyone can repeat them.
Who notifies building control?
We do, through Caerphilly County Borough Council where the work is notifiable. It is included rather than charged as an extra.
