Two questions dominate consumer unit upgrades enquiries from airbnb & holiday-let hosts across Barry: what does the fixed price actually cover, and what does the certificate need to say so the solicitor or agent signs off first time?
We answer both at quote stage, on paper. No "we'll see on the day", no fictional starting price. If a variable is real for your Barry address, we survey it before quoting — not after invoicing.
