People often put off kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a modern flat because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. 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. Ystrad Mynach sits inside the area we work daily, so a follow-up visit is not a logistical problem if one is needed. It rarely surprises us; it often surprises the previous quote.
The cost drivers here are access and condition rather than parts. Diary planned for the access constraint is the one that moves a quote most. We would rather rule out diary planned for the access early than discover it late. Kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a modern flat in a Ystrad Mynach property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.
