Call for SwanseaGet a quote

Ask three electricians about consumer unit upgrades on a period flat and you may get three answers. Ours is based on what the readings say. Freeholder or managing-agent consent almost always required for CU work. Most enquiries about this start with a symptom and end with diary planned for the access constraint. We would rather set that expectation now than on the day. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion.

We treat Swansea as its own round rather than an outlying job, which is why work in Neath tends to be scheduled alongside it. Which is why the schedule of results is worth reading, not filing. The starting question with consumer unit upgrades on a period flat is always the same: what does the existing installation test at?

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Access permitting, priced against your period flat's specific construction, not a template happens in a single visit to your Swansea address.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Common around SA1–SA7 — priced against your period flat's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    We agree NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P with you before touching anything.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off. It goes on the schedule either way.

What we build into every quote

  • Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect. It goes on the report.
  • Common around SA1–SA7 — access constraints priced into the diary — a period flat in Swansea isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
  • Wiring generation on record (conversion-era 1990s–2010s) so the quote — the point at which a small job can turn into a larger one.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to conversion. In practice that is confirmed with a meter, not a torch.

Construction & access

This is routine work carried out weekly across SA1–SA7, so the process is settled: check fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to conversion, record it, quote it, complete it, certify it. We would rather rule out fixed price at quote stage, early than discover it late.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Nothing gets replaced because it looks old. It gets replaced because it fails a test. There is no benefit to us in recommending work that testing does not support, and plenty of downside.

Materials we spec

We handle the letter chain if needed. A fair amount of this work is preparation: confirming focus on the hallway, the consumer unit location, planning the route, agreeing what happens if something unexpected appears behind the plaster. On coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.

Swansea context

We would rather turn a Swansea job down than take on something we cannot certificate honestly. It rarely surprises us; it often surprises the previous quote.

FAQs — period flat conversion in Swansea

Do I need the freeholder's permission for a CU swap in a flat?+

Usually yes, because the tails route through common areas. We send a standard consent letter with the quote you can forward to the managing agent.

Can you supply the report electronically?+

Yes, as a PDF the same or next working day, with the Swansea address and circuit schedule on it.

Will you work on a tenanted property?+

Yes. We arrange access with the tenant directly if you prefer, and the report goes to you as the Swansea landlord.

Is this notifiable work?+

It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Swansea Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.

Do you cover Swansea for consumer unit upgrades on a period flat?+

Yes — Swansea and the surrounding SA1–SA7 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Neath and Llanelli, and Swansea Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. Confirmed before pricing.

Can you handle a property that is empty?+

Yes. Key access is arranged and the report is sent electronically once the Swansea visit is complete.

Nearby coverage

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. Around SA1–SA7 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.
