Wiring generation on this stock is typically conversion-era 1990s–2010s; sub-main from the communal supply, individual metering. On a period flat you should expect us to flag: sub-main tails routed through communal areas — freeholder consent needed for CU work; communal lighting on a separate meter, not always tested with the flat's EICR; old landlord's supply feeding hallway heaters or emergency lighting.
Materials and methods we spec on period flat conversion work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU sized to the sub-main; SPD as standard; communal-area emergency lighting where the freeholder brief includes it. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
Beyond Aberdare itself, we regularly cover period flat work across Merthyr Tydfil, Mountain Ash, Pontypridd on the same fixed-price model — same materials, same certificate format.
