Port Talbot context

A written record matters as much as the work. Anything we find at a SA12–SA13 address is documented in a form you can hand to someone else. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

What we build into every quote

Where the survey supports it: 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".
One of the usual points: common 1930s semi findings we flag before quoting: ring finals extended into the kitchen or a rear extension without checking the R1+R2.
Sometimes it is simply materials matched to the stock, and the fix is proportionate to that.
Cable routing planned around cavity brick (early cavity construction) — identified by comparing readings circuit by circuit.

Construction & access

Age alone does not condemn an installation. Plenty of older Port Talbot wiring tests perfectly well; some newer work does not. The alternative — ignoring priced against your 1930s semi's — tends to cost more later.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Every reading we take is on the report, so a second opinion can check our work. The certificate is emailed and kept on file, so replacing a lost copy is easy.

Materials we spec

Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice. Anything we recommend is tied to a specific finding rather than to a general principle. It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards.

Nearby coverage

Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. In practice that means checking cable routing planned around cavity before anything is replaced.
