07949 398752The starting question with offices and shared workspaces 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. No current EICR 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: no current EICR.
Server or comms cupboards with no dedicated supply, no — the finding that most often explains the symptom you described.
Desk power fed by daisy-chained extension leads, especially on circuits that were extended rather than replaced.
Lighting still on legacy fluorescent fittings with failing control — more likely where earlier work was never certificated.
LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming — measured, not estimated.
Fixed wire testing, board labelling and remedial works, which is what turns a symptom into a diagnosis.
Dedicated comms and server supplies with clear local isolation — done in front of you if you want to watch.
Emergency lighting design, install and testing regime, then the findings are written up before we leave Caerphilly.
Floor boxes, dado trunking and desk power reconfiguration, so nothing is left to be discovered on a second visit.
Context throughout is Caerphilly: CF83, Caerphilly County Borough Council.

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
- In our experience locally, emergency lighting design, install and testing regime
- Floor boxes, dado trunking and desk power reconfiguration No extra charge attaches to it.
- One of the usual points: 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.
