Why the property type matters

Full Property Rewires on a Edwardian semi is shaped by 9-inch solid brick with plaster-on-lath internally, timber-framed front bay. The scope is standard once the physical routing is planned around that construction.

Most Edwardian semi properties across Port Talbot were rewired 1970s–2000s; front-bay circuits and porch lighting frequently missed on partial rewires. That single fact drives the full property rewires conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.
