This page is for anyone in Port Talbot trying to work out whether consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi is their next job or next year's. Short version: consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi in Port Talbot works best when the survey accounts for cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, the quote is fixed, and the materials (metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit) are matched to the stock — not lifted from a new-build spec. Nothing is charged for on the basis of a guess. Where a reading is borderline, it is reported as borderline. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

The practical question for a Port Talbot property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. The alternative — ignoring materials matched to the stock — tends to cost more later. The purpose of this page is to make consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi in Port Talbot predictable rather than mysterious.

Construction & access

We would rather turn a Port Talbot job down than take on something we cannot certificate honestly. Around Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council that is a familiar finding rather than an alarming one.

Wiring generation & likely findings

If the property is being sold or let, tell us the deadline and we will be honest about whether it is achievable. If none of this matches what your property is doing, call and describe it — the answer may be simpler than the page suggests.

Materials we spec

Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice. A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. Anyone testing properly will reach the same conclusion.

What we build into every quote

In our experience locally, fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1965 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect. No extra charge attaches to it.

FAQs — post-war semi in Port Talbot

Will you need to lift floors?+

Only if the findings require it, and only with your agreement. We use existing access wherever it exists.

Can you advise without doing the work?+

Yes. Plenty of Port Talbot visits end with advice and no invoice for work that is not needed yet.

Does this affect my insurance?+

Insurers generally want evidence that the installation has been inspected and any defect addressed. The certification is that evidence.

Can you supply the report electronically?+

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

Do you cover Port Talbot for consumer unit upgrades on a post-war semi?+

Can two jobs be combined into one visit?+

Usually. If you need something else doing at the same SA12–SA13 address, say so when booking and it is priced together.
