FAQs — 1930s bay-fronted semi in Mountain Ash

Is older wiring automatically a problem?+

No. Plenty of older Mountain Ash installations test well. Age is a reason to check, not a verdict.

What is not included?+

Building work, decoration and anything outside the electrical scope. Those are flagged rather than absorbed.

Do you charge to come out and look?+

Attendance and testing are quoted before we travel to Mountain Ash, so there is nothing added afterwards that was not agreed.

Will you show me what you found?+

Always. Common 1930s semi findings we flag before quoting is easier to understand when you can see it, so we photograph anything hidden.

Do you cover Mountain Ash for kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a 1930s semi?+

Yes — Mountain Ash and the surrounding CF45 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Aberdare and Pontypridd, and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. It goes on the schedule either way.

What if you find something unrelated?+
