People often put off consumer unit upgrades for small offices & studios because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. In Swansea specifically, that plays out against a housing/premises mix of coastal terraces in Mumbles and Sketty, older miners' housing in Morriston, and post-war semis around Gorseinon. Swansea Council is the authority for Swansea, so where the work is notifiable the registration goes through them. It rarely changes the price, but it does change the plan.
Conditions locally play a part — exposure, damp and the way older coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty were built all affect what we find. We would say the same to a family member. Consumer unit upgrades for small offices & studios in a Swansea property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.
