Call for Mountain Ash Get a quote

Two things dominate eicr — electrical safety checks on a post-war semi in Mountain Ash: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout, and bathroom shower feed on a 6mm radial with an isolator hidden above the ceiling. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice.

We work across CF45 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.

What we build into every quote

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.
Materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit, plus SPD retrofit.
Cable routing planned around cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".

Construction & access

Good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the CU generation.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; kitchen and bathroom often updated separately with mixed board vintages. On a post-war semi you should expect us to flag: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout; bathroom shower feed on a 6mm radial with an isolator hidden above the ceiling; outside tap or outside socket added on a spur without RCD protection.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on post-war semi work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD retrofit; shower feed uprated to 10mm where the run length demands it. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

What to expect

01

Focus on the hallway or garage, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your post-war semi's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

FAQs — post-war semi in Mountain Ash

What's specific about eicr — electrical safety checks on a post-war semi?+

Two things: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout, and the wiring generation — rewired 1990s–2010s. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.

Will the work affect any original features?+

Not unless the quote says so. On period stock in particular we route through floors, lofts and non-original plaster; cornices, dado rails and original panelling stay intact.

How common is a post-war semi in Mountain Ash?+

Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. Edwardian terraces in Penrhiwceiber, ex-NCB cottages in Miskin, and post-war estates in Abercynon — the post-war semi is a recognisable slice of that mix.

How do you handle cable routing on a post-war semi?+

Good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the CU generation. We mark the route at survey and price against it.
