Construction & access

Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. In practice that means checking materials matched to the stock before anything is replaced.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Photographs of anything hidden are included so you can see what we saw. Certification and paperwork are part of the job, not an optional extra at the end.

Materials we spec

If you take one thing from this page: the awkward part is the routing, not the install. Owners in Newport often ask whether this is a repair or the start of something bigger. Testing answers that; opinion does not. We would say the same to a family member.
