We are asked about in Cardiff most weeks, usually after something has changed at the property. Two questions dominate emergency callouts enquiries from cafés & restaurants across Cardiff: what does the fixed price actually cover, and what does the certificate need to say so the insurer signs off first time? What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Paperwork is delivered in the format your insurer / matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. You will get the plain version, not the technical one, unless you ask.
The order of work matters: isolate, test, explain, then price. Skipping the middle two is how people end up paying twice. 15-30 minute walk with is the part worth confirming rather than assuming. If a previous certificate exists, emergency callouts for cafés & restaurants usually starts by checking whether it still reflects reality.
