Every property we attend in and around Barry gets the same order of operations, and it starts with establishing common Victorian terrace findings we flag before quoting. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.

Eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace sits somewhere between routine and urgent depending on what the property is doing right now. On a Victorian terrace, tight cellar entries, no side-return access, and party walls that can't take a chase — that's what the quote should reflect.
