Landlords consumer unit upgrades — Barry (CF62–CF63)

Meeting the Welsh Government 5-yearly EICR rules and keeping tenancies compliant without spending needless money on remedials.

There is a short version and a long version of consumer unit upgrades for landlords. The short version: test it, then decide. There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always invoice routes to the landlord as standard. Split billing. A short survey tells us which one your property is. We would say the same to a family member.

Timescales are given honestly. If a part has to come, we say when rather than leaving it open. You will get the plain version, not the technical one, unless you ask. Before booking anywhere in Vale of Glamorgan Council, it is worth knowing which parts of the job are fixed and which depend on your property.

Why landlords book consumer unit upgrades first

The regulations set the standard; same-week for standard scope, planned longer where the shutdown sets the effort required to meet it at your particular address in Vale of Glamorgan Council. Same-week for standard scope, planned is the part worth confirming rather than assuming.

Why Barry specifically

A property in Barry that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.

Proof and paperwork

A fair amount of this work is preparation: confirming photos of the CU and meter, or a 15-minute, planning the route, agreeing what happens if something unexpected appears behind the plaster. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion.

FAQs — landlords in Barry

What paperwork do I get?+

The certification appropriate to the work, listing the circuits tested and the readings recorded, not a receipt with a tick on it.

Can the work be staged?+

Often, yes. Where the findings allow it we prioritise what affects safety and leave the rest to be planned.

What happens to old parts?+

They are removed and disposed of correctly, and shown to you first if you want to see what failed.

It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Vale of Glamorgan Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.

Do you cover Barry for consumer unit upgrades for landlords?+

Yes. We arrange access with the tenant directly if you prefer, and the report goes to you as the Barry landlord.
