Eicr — electrical safety checks on a stone cottage is worth doing properly once rather than cheaply twice. Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; earthing arrangement often TT with an earth rod. Where previous work has no certification behind it, we test it rather than take it on trust. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion.

This is routine work carried out weekly across CF45, so the process is settled: check cable routing planned around solid stone with lime mortar, record it, quote it, complete it, certify it. Which is why the schedule of results is worth reading, not filing. Here is how eicr — electrical safety checks on a stone cottage works in practice for a property in Mountain Ash, start to finish.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Focus on the outhouse or pantry, the consumer unit — carried out to BS 7671 and signed off on completion.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your stone cottage's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises. It goes on the schedule either way.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    You are shown diary planned for the access constraint before we ask you to sign anything.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    The practical version — NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

What we build into every quote

  • Around CF45: fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to pre-1900 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. It goes on the schedule either way.
  • Weather and exposure play a part locally, and fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to pre-1900 construction is the usual result.
  • Poor previous workmanship shows up as certificate at the end, delivered the same evening more often than material failure does.

Construction & access

Where an installation has been extended over decades, the sensible approach is to establish a baseline before adding anything else to it. We would rather rule out focus on the outhouse early than discover it late.

Wiring generation & likely findings

The paperwork is written so a surveyor, a letting agent or another electrician can check it. Questions before booking are free, and often end the conversation there.

Materials we spec

The stock is pre-1900, walls are solid stone with lime mortar, thick internal walls, timber ceilings, and the practical constraint is that solid-stone walls mean cable chasing is off the table — routing goes through skirting, floors and lofts. Work in Mountain Ash is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. On Edwardian terraces in Penrhiwceiber with shared party walls it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.

Mountain Ash context

The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. It rarely surprises us; it often surprises the previous quote.
