Common questions
Is this covered by a landlord obligation?
It depends on the tenure and the document required. We will tell you plainly which obligation applies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Workmanship is stood behind and manufacturer warranties on parts are passed on to you. We do not offer guarantees we cannot honour.
Do you offer scheduled repeat visits?
Yes. Where an installation needs periodic checks we diary it rather than leaving you to remember.
Will you show me what you found?
Always. Available to renters, flat owners and landlords is easier to understand when you can see it, so we photograph anything hidden.
Do you cover Pontypridd for grants & funding?
Yes — Pontypridd and the surrounding CF37–CF38 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Cardiff and Aberdare, and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. This is the part people ask about most.
Is a specialist needed or will any electrician do?
The work must be done by someone competent and registered. That is what the certification depends on.
