modern block construction, service ducts to each flat, ceiling voids used for cable routing. Access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts.
The awkward part of eicr — electrical safety checks on a Tredegar modern flat isn't the install — it's the route. Access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts.
We map the route at survey, mark it up on a photo, and price against that specific plan. Nothing gets discovered mid-job that could have been priced at quote stage.

Wiring generation on this stock is typically current, but often ex-developer with the same headroom issues as new-builds. On a modern flat you should expect us to flag: developer CU inside a bedroom or kitchen — noise nuisance from RCBO trips; no SPD in the base install; communal EV provision governed by the freeholder, not the individual flat.
Materials and methods we spec on modern flat work: SPD retrofit; RCBO-per-circuit CU where the base board only had RCDs; sub-main uplift only where the freeholder consents. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
Focus on the utility cupboard, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
Priced against your modern flat's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
