Common questions
Is this notifiable work?
It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.
Will the power be off for long?
Only for the parts that require isolation. We plan the sequence so the Pontypridd property is not dead all day.
Do you work weekends?
Sometimes, where a property in Pontypridd cannot be accessed midweek. It is arranged case by case.
What is the most common outcome?
A defined, limited piece of work. SWA armoured supply from house to office usually resolves without replacing the whole installation.

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. Worth raising before the visit.
