Barry context

Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. We would rather rule out cable routing planned around cavity early than discover it late.

What we build into every quote

  • In this case — 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.
  • Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect. It is part of the quoted scope.
  • Weather and exposure play a part locally, and cable routing planned around cavity brick, concrete-frame lintels; some is the usual result.
  • If common ex-council semi findings we flag before quoting is present, the report will say so with a photograph.

Materials we spec

The practical question on this job is NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P, and it is answered by testing rather than by opinion. In Barry that usually decides both the scope and the sequence of the visit. Around CF62–CF63 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.

Nearby coverage
