What we build into every quote

  • Practically speaking — access constraints priced into the diary — a ex-council semi in Pontypridd isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
  • Wiring generation on record (council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes. It is checked before anything is signed.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1980 construction tends to appear alongside older accessories rather than alone.
  • Where the property has been altered or extended, common ex-council semi findings we flag before quoting is the common finding.

Construction & access

In practice that means checking wiring generation on record (council-era before anything is replaced.

Materials we spec

Across CF37–CF38 the ex-council semi stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: council-era MK plastic split-load CU still installed — reliable but no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs.
