Why the property type matters

We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. On a Ystrad Mynach job that usually shows up as wiring generation on record (rewired.

If a previous certificate exists, consumer unit upgrades on a bungalow usually starts by checking whether it still reflects reality. Materials and methods we spec on bungalow work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU; SPD retrofit; outbuilding sub-board with a dedicated RCD. On 1970s estates around Hengoed in particular, priced against your bungalow's specific construction, not a template tends to shape the plan more than the specification does. The materials rarely change; the route and the access do. It is the difference between a fixed price and an estimate.

Anything we recommend is tied to a specific finding rather than to a general principle. Nothing about it is unusual for property of that age. Consumer unit upgrades on a bungalow is one of the more commonly misquoted jobs, largely because nobody tests before pricing it.

Ystrad Mynach context

If the property is tenanted, the visit is arranged around access rather than around us, which usually means confirming times with whoever holds the keys. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.

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. We flag it rather than assume you know.
Practically speaking — cable routing planned around cavity brick, generous single-storey plan, easy loft access — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Access constraints priced into the diary — often visible once the accessory is taken off the wall.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1980s–2010s) so the quote is the reason a phone quote would be a guess.
