Why the property type matters

EICR — Electrical Safety Checks on a post-war semi is shaped by cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels. The scope is standard once the physical routing is planned around that construction.

EICR — Electrical Safety Checks on a post-war semi in Newport is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is c.1945–1965, walls are cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels, and the practical constraint is that good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the hallway or garage, the cable route and the consumer unit location before pricing — because on this property type the standard scope is only standard once you know what you're working around.

Newport context

Post-War Semi properties are a distinctive part of the Newport housing mix — Victorian terraces around Maindee and Pill, 1930s semis in Allt-yr-yn, and new-build estates on Glan Llyn and Celtic Horizons. We work on this stock weekly.

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 we build into every quote

Access constraints priced into the diary — a post-war semi in Newport isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1990s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
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.
