Before booking anything for consumer unit upgrades on a edwardian semi, it is worth knowing which findings change the price and which do not. That is the standard we quote to. 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. If it turns out not to apply here, you will be told that plainly.

We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. Around Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council that is a familiar finding rather than an alarming one. Merthyr Tydfil enquiries about consumer unit upgrades on a edwardian semi tend to arrive with a deadline attached — a tenancy, a sale or a fault.
