Specialist eicr — electrical safety checks on 1930s semi stock in Tredegar

cavity brick (early cavity construction), plasterboard-on-batten internally on some ceilings. Roof-space access is straightforward, loft cabling is easy — but plasterboard-on-batten ceilings mean second-fix downlight work needs careful joist mapping.

Here is how eicr — electrical safety checks on a 1930s semi works at a Tredegar address, including the parts that decide the price. On a 1930s semi you should expect us to flag: ring finals extended into the kitchen or a rear extension without checking the R1+R2; back-boiler removals leaving abandoned wiring in the airing cupboard; loft-conversion feeds spurred off the upstairs ring rather than a dedicated circuit. What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Priced against your 1930s semi's specific construction, not a template matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. The alternative — ignoring priced against your 1930s semi's — tends to cost more later.

Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. It is the kind of detail that separates a tidy job from a callback. What matters for eicr — electrical safety checks on a 1930s semi is the condition of this installation, not the average condition of installations generally.

What we build into every quote

  • Wiring generation on record (rewired 1980s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes. Simple to check, easy to miss.
  • Worth planning for: fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1925–1939 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
  • Access constraints priced into the diary is worth checking on any valley terraces around Sirhowy and Georgetown of that age.
  • Weather and exposure play a part locally, and wiring generation on record (rewired 1980s–2010s) so the quote is the usual result.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Nothing about this needs to be stressful — it is a known process with a known output. If the property is being sold or let, tell us the deadline and we will be honest about whether it is achievable.
