Why the property type matters

There is no single right answer for consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi — the correct one depends on the age of the installation and how it has been altered since. Around CF31–CF35 it is the single most common reason a job runs long.

People often put off consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. Bottom line: post-war semi owners in Bridgend deserve a quote calibrated to c.1945–1965 construction, not a template. A written record matters as much as the work. Anything we find at a CF31–CF35 address is documented in a form you can hand to someone else. The schedule of results records it either way.

What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Diary planned for the access constraint matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. On post-war semis in Brackla and Wildmill it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time. Consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi in a Bridgend property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.
