It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards. For Edwardian terraces around Holton Road and Cadoxton in particular, eicr — electrical safety checks on a ex-council semi throws up a fairly predictable set of findings.

Barry context

Most enquiries reaching us from Barry arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. It is written into the report either way, so nothing is hidden.

What we build into every quote

  • Wiring generation on record (council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes. Worth raising before the visit.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1980 construction — not a generic South Wales rate. That is checked on every visit.
  • Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening. The symptom is the same whichever cause is behind it, so we measure.
  • Sometimes it is simply materials matched to the stock, and the fix is proportionate to that.
