What follows is what we actually do about consumer unit upgrades on a victorian terrace in Tredegar, rather than a general description of the trade. On a Victorian terrace you should expect us to flag: shared party wall with a neighbour, meaning EV/CU cabling has to route through the front elevation or under floorboards, not chase across a shared wall; no rear access — every cable, board and EV cable enters through the front door or the small back yard; old CPC continuity failures on lighting circuits where junction boxes sit in inaccessible ceiling voids. We take the view that access constraints priced into the diary should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. It is the kind of detail that separates a tidy job from a callback.
Work in Tredegar is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. If it turns out not to apply here, you will be told that plainly. Consumer unit upgrades on a victorian terrace comes up regularly on Tredegar properties, and the honest answer starts with what the installation actually shows.
