Common questions
Why does testing take so long?
Because each circuit is measured individually. Free DNO notification handled for you would be missed by a walk-round inspection.
Who do I speak to on the day?
The electrician doing the work. There is no call centre between you and the person at the Aberdare property.
How do I know the price will not change?
Because it is set after testing, not before. Extra work is only ever agreed with you first.
Do you work on commercial premises too?
Yes, across CF44 and the wider area. The testing regime differs but the approach is the same.
Do you cover Aberdare for cost guide?
Yes — Aberdare and the surrounding CF44 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Merthyr Tydfil and Mountain Ash, and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. Simple to check, easy to miss.
How far in advance should I book?

Booking is by phone or form; either way you speak to the person who would carry out the work. We cover Aberdare and the CF44 postcodes, including Pontypridd, for cost guide.
