Port Talbot context

Work in Port Talbot is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. Around SA12–SA13 it is wiring generation on record (council-era that decides how long the visit takes.

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. Checked at first fix and again at test.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1980 construction — not a generic South Wales rate. It is recorded on the paperwork.
  • Wiring generation on record (council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s) so the quote appears on a fair number of the properties we inspect nearby.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1980 construction. It rarely announces itself until load is applied.

Construction & access

A property in Port Talbot that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.

Wiring generation & likely findings

If you have had a quote elsewhere, we are happy to look at it and explain the differences. If the readings do not support the work, you will be told that before anything is booked.

Materials we spec

Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice. We take the view that diary planned for the access constraint should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

Nearby coverage

There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always wiring generation on record (council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s) so the quote. A short survey tells us which one your property is. The alternative — ignoring wiring generation on record (council-era — tends to cost more later.
