Consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi in a Mountain Ash property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were. Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; kitchen and bathroom often updated separately with mixed board vintages. We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.

If the property is tenanted, the visit is arranged around access rather than around us, which usually means confirming times with whoever holds the keys. That is the honest version, rather than the version that sells more work. Most people asking about consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi in Mountain Ash have already had one opinion and want a second that comes with readings.
