Two questions dominate eicr — electrical safety checks enquiries from homeowners across Cardiff: 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 Cardiff address, we survey it before quoting — not after invoicing.
Why Cardiff specifically
In Cardiff specifically, the housing/premises mix is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cathays and Roath, 1930s semis around Whitchurch, and modern estates in Pontprennau and Pentwyn, with the Splott, Leckwith and Cardiff Bay business parks cluster shaping most of the residential enquiries we see.
Why homeowners book eicr — electrical safety checks first
EICR — Electrical Safety Checks for homeowners is a compressed brief: planning genuine upgrades — an EV on order, a kitchen going in, or an ageing fuse box that's tripping. We quote against that brief, not a template.
What we build into every quote
We quote against the trigger you told us about at booking (a car delivery date, a kitchen fitter's start date, a nuisance-tripping RCD, or a rewire finally being budgeted), not a generic checklist.
Local factor for Cardiff: Cardiff Bay properties get more wind-driven rain than the city centre, so outdoor work near the bay benefits from upgraded IP-rated enclosures. We surface that at survey rather than after invoicing.
Fixed price at quote stage: everything is on the written quote, so homeowner approvals happen once, not twice.
Invoice routes to the homeowner as standard. Split billing across multiple homes or landlords is normal.
