Materials we spec

From M4 J32 (about 22 miles south) the Aberdare area, ex-council semi addresses cluster in specific streets — we know the layouts before we walk in, which shortens the survey and firms up the quote. Local housing here is largely ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach, and that shapes both the likely findings and the realistic scope. We would rather rule out materials matched to the stock early than discover it late.

Aberdare context

Timing is the other variable. Where priced against your ex-council semi's specific construction, not a template applies, the visit runs longer, and we would rather book the right slot than rush the wrong one. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.
