On a Merthyr Tydfil job that usually shows up as priced against your 1930s semi's.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Nothing is closed up until diary planned for the access constraint is verified.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your 1930s semi's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises. It is part of the standard scope.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    Focus on the porch or hallway, the consumer unit forms part of the fixed price, along with the certificate.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    Put simply: NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

Merthyr Tydfil context

Timescales are given honestly. If a part has to come, we say when rather than leaving it open. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold.

What we build into every quote

  • Where it applies: materials matched to the stock: 18th Edition metal-clad CU, plus RCBO per circuit.
  • Cable routing planned around cavity brick (early cavity construction), plasterboard-on-batten internally on some ceilings — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through". It is part of the standard scope.
  • Weather and exposure play a part locally, and common 1930s semi findings we flag before quoting is the usual result.
  • Access constraints priced into the diary, which is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.

Construction & access

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. Two properties on the same street can differ on this entirely.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Prices are fixed after the survey, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If it turns out to be a smaller job than expected, the price reflects that.

Materials we spec

Roof-space access is straightforward, loft cabling is easy — but plasterboard-on-batten ceilings mean second-fix downlight work needs careful joist mapping. Owners in Merthyr Tydfil often ask whether this is a repair or the start of something bigger. Testing answers that; opinion does not. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.

Nearby coverage

Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone.
