Protecting occupancy revenue — a bad review over a tripping consumer unit costs more than the fix, and insurance now wants a current EICR.
Two questions dominate consumer unit upgrades enquiries from airbnb & holiday-let hosts across Newport: 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 Newport address, we survey it before quoting — not after invoicing.
In Newport specifically, the housing/premises mix is Victorian terraces around Maindee and Pill, 1930s semis in Allt-yr-yn, and new-build estates on Glan Llyn and Celtic Horizons.
Guest appliances trip old boards constantly — a modern CU with RCBOs pays back in one avoided cancellation.
Photos of the CU and meter, or a 15-minute visit — enough to write a fixed quote.
Priced to your insurer requirement, invoice routed to the host / owner, no line-item surprises.
Same-week for standard scope, planned longer where the shutdown window or let logistics demand it.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence, and any Part P or licensing paperwork emailed the evening the job signs off.
