Why the property type matters

If you have had conflicting advice, it is usually because someone quoted without checking NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P. Two electricians looking at the same readings tend to agree. It is written into the report either way, so nothing is hidden.

What matters for eicr — electrical safety checks on a 1930s semi is the condition of this installation, not the average condition of installations generally. The scope is standard once the physical routing is planned around that construction. Conditions locally play a part — exposure, damp and the way older new-build estates around Bedwas and Trecenydd were built all affect what we find. It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards.

What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Focus on the porch or hallway, the consumer unit matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. In practice that means checking focus on the porch before anything is replaced. Whether this is urgent or simply overdue, the sequence for eicr — electrical safety checks on a 1930s semi does not change much.

Caerphilly context

Wiring generation & likely findings
