Construction & access

The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

Wiring generation & likely findings

The certificate is emailed and kept on file, so replacing a lost copy is easy. The regulations change; the approach of measuring before advising does not.

Materials we spec

Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice. Most enquiries about this start with a symptom and end with access constraints priced into the diary. We would rather set that expectation now than on the day. Around Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council that is a familiar finding rather than an alarming one.

Port Talbot context

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. That detail is what a proper survey is for.
