People often put off full property rewires on a stone cottage because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day. Age alone does not condemn an installation. Plenty of older Ebbw Vale wiring tests perfectly well; some newer work does not. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.
What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Common stone cottage findings we flag before quoting matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion. Full property rewires on a stone cottage in a Ebbw Vale property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.
