A short guide to emergency callouts on a modern flat for Swansea property, written by the person who would do the work. The stock is post-2000 block, walls are modern block construction, service ducts to each flat, ceiling voids used for cable routing, and the practical constraint is that access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts. 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 Swansea that usually decides both the scope and the sequence of the visit. Around SA1–SA7 it is NICEIC certificate, photo evidence that decides how long the visit takes.
Access is part of the job here. Swansea properties vary from open loft space to boarded conversions, and that changes how long a visit takes. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched. Owners and landlords across SA1–SA7 ask about this in roughly equal numbers, for slightly different reasons.
