EICR — Electrical Safety Checks on a bungalow is shaped by cavity brick, generous single-storey plan, easy loft access. The scope is standard once the physical routing is planned around that construction.
The awkward part of eicr — electrical safety checks on a Mountain Ash bungalow isn't the install — it's the route. Loft-run cabling makes rewires and CU upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1980s–2010s; loft cabling is easy but often overdue for a CU upgrade. On a bungalow you should expect us to flag: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load; no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs; extension added over the years with a mixed-vintage sub-board.
Materials and methods we spec on bungalow work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU; SPD retrofit; outbuilding sub-board with a dedicated RCD. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
Focus on the hall cupboard, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
