Offices and shared workspaces — electrical work in Pontypridd
We handle offices and shared workspaces across Pontypridd and Cardiff, with certification issued for the work carried out. Offices and shared workspaces is booked for Pontypridd properties on the same rounds as Cardiff.
Owners and landlords across CF37–CF38 ask about this in roughly equal numbers, for slightly different reasons.
Anything we recommend is tied to a specific finding rather than to a general principle. Which is why the schedule of results is worth reading, not filing.
Pontypridd sits inside the area we work daily, so a follow-up visit is not a logistical problem if one is needed. For tightly-packed Taff valley terraces in Treforest and Cilfynydd that detail matters more than it does elsewhere.
Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.
The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. That is the honest version, rather than the version that sells more work.
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. Around CF37–CF38 it is server or comms cupboards that decides how long the visit takes.
If none of this matches what your property is doing, call and describe it — the answer may be simpler than the page suggests. Nothing gets replaced because it looks old. It gets replaced because it fails a test.
Lighting still on legacy fluorescent fittings with failing control, which testing separates from the other candidates rather than guesswork.
No current EICR, and it does not resolve itself with time.
Server or comms cupboards with no dedicated supply, no is straightforward to correct once it has been identified properly.
On CF37–CF38 addresses the trail usually leads back to desk power fed by daisy-chained extension leads.
We floor boxes, dado trunking and desk power reconfiguration, then talk you through what it means in plain terms.
We LED lighting upgrades with presence detection and daylight dimming. If that resolves it, that is where the job stops.
Across CF37–CF38 properties we fixed wire testing, board labelling and remedial works the same way every time.
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 — done before anything is priced.
Context throughout is Pontypridd: CF37–CF38, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council.
Scope of works
- Fixed wire testing, board labelling and remedial works to close observations Nothing here is optional.
- Frequently — dedicated comms and server supplies with clear local isolation
- Emergency lighting design, install and testing regime We will confirm it in writing.
Do not skip this — 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.

Commercial questions we get asked
Is a specialist needed or will any electrician do?
The work must be done by someone competent and registered. That is what the certification depends on.
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 if the property has had DIY work done?
It gets tested like anything else. Desk power fed by daisy-chained extension leads is often the result of well-meant work that was never verified.
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.
Who notifies building control?
We do, through Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council where the work is notifiable. It is included rather than charged as an extra.
