Bottom line: post-war semi owners in Barry deserve a quote calibrated to c.1945–1965 construction, not a template.

That is the honest version, rather than the version that sells more work.

Construction & access

Owners in Barry often ask whether this is a repair or the start of something bigger. Testing answers that; opinion does not. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.

Wiring generation & likely findings

You are welcome to watch the tests being taken and ask what each one means. We keep the certificate on file, so a replacement copy is a phone call away.

Materials we spec
