Construction & access

The practical question for a Merthyr Tydfil property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. We would rather rule out common Edwardian semi findings we early than discover it late.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Photographs of anything hidden are included so you can see what we saw. Certification and paperwork are part of the job, not an optional extra at the end.

Materials we spec

Side-return access on most plots, which gives an EV cable a straight run from the CU to a driveway charger without touching the front elevation. We take the view that wiring generation on record (rewired 1970s–2000s) so the quote should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. On stone-built valley terraces in Heolgerrig and Cefn Coed it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.

Nearby coverage

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. Around CF47–CF48 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.
