Why the property type matters

Kitchen & Bathroom Upgrades 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.

Most post-war semi properties across Ebbw Vale were rewired 1990s–2010s; kitchen and bathroom often updated separately with mixed board vintages. That single fact drives the kitchen & bathroom upgrades conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.
