EICR — Electrical Safety Checks for Home Buyers in Port Talbot

Understanding the electrical bill before exchange — a survey flagged the fuse box, or the seller waved a vague EICR through.

This page covers for property in Port Talbot and the surrounding SA12–SA13 postcodes, in the order the work happens. A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it.
