If you are weighing up eicr — electrical safety checks on a ex-council semi at a Swansea address, the useful detail is below rather than in a brochure. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice. Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone.

What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Focus on the under-stairs cupboard, the consumer unit location matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. That is checked with instruments, not by eye. Swansea property owners generally want to know two things about eicr — electrical safety checks on a ex-council semi: is it necessary, and what will it involve.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Priced against your ex-council semi's specific construction, not a template closes the job out cleanly.

  2. 02

    Certificate + evidence pack

    One of the usual points: NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

  3. 03

    Written fixed quote

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P — the part of the job that protects the rest of it.

  4. 04

    Booked around access

    Very often — diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — external meter cabinet on the front elevation on most estates — tidy cable route into the hallway, easy cu swap.

Swansea context

eicr — electrical safety checks on a ex-council semi in Swansea is rarely identical to the same job twenty miles away: coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty behave differently from newer stock, and the SA1–SA7 postcode covers both. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

What we build into every quote

  • Where the survey supports it: common ex-council semi findings we flag before quoting: council-era MK plastic split-load CU still installed — reliable but no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs.
  • One of the usual points: access constraints priced into the diary — a ex-council semi in Swansea isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
  • Cable routing planned around cavity brick, concrete-frame lintels; some, especially on circuits that were extended rather than replaced.
  • Common ex-council semi findings we flag before quoting: visible on inspection, confirmable with a meter.

Construction & access

Priced against your ex-council semi's specific construction, not a template is the pivot point. Everything quoted after it follows from what the readings say, which is why the survey comes first at any SA1–SA7 address. The alternative — ignoring priced against your ex-council semi's — tends to cost more later.

Wiring generation & likely findings

There is no benefit to us in recommending work that testing does not support, and plenty of downside. Ask for the plain-English version at any point; that is the version we prefer too.

Materials we spec

Wiring generation on this stock is typically council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s; consistent standards within an estate but often overdue for a CU upgrade. We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards.

Nearby coverage
