Here is how eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace works in practice for a property in Bridgend, start to finish. Victorian Terrace stock isn't confined to Bridgend — the same construction era shows up across Porthcawl and Maesteg. A property in Bridgend that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold. Eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace: what is involved, what it depends on, and what we would check first at a CF31–CF35 address.

Construction & access

If something falls outside what we can do properly, we say so and point you at who does it, rather than attempting it. The paperwork explains it in the same words we would use on site.

Wiring generation & likely findings

The intention of this page is to save you a wasted visit, not to create one. Where a smaller repair solves it, that is what gets quoted.

Materials we spec

Most enquiries about this start with a symptom and end with diary planned for the access constraint. We would rather set that expectation now than on the day. That is checked with instruments, not by eye.
