People often put off eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. Victorian terrace EICRs pass or fail on lighting-circuit CPC continuity — the junction boxes are older and often sit in inaccessible ceiling voids. Priced against your Victorian terrace's specific construction, not is the pivot point. Everything quoted after it follows from what the readings say, which is why the survey comes first at any CF83 address. It rarely surprises us; it often surprises the previous quote.

If the property is tenanted, the visit is arranged around access rather than around us, which usually means confirming times with whoever holds the keys. We would rather rule out wiring generation on record (rewired early than discover it late. Eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace in a Caerphilly property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Priced against your Victorian terrace's specific construction, not, then a walk-through so you know what changed.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Commonly, priced against your Victorian terrace's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P — the part of the job that protects the rest of it.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off. That is measured, not assumed.

What we build into every quote

  • Put simply: certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
  • Commonly, materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit, plus SPD as standard for surge-sensitive kit.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1880–1901 construction — worth ruling in or out before anything is replaced.
  • Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening. The remedy depends on what the readings say, not on the symptom alone.

Construction & access

Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. The schedule of results records it either way.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Questions before booking are free, and often end the conversation there. If you have had a quote elsewhere, we are happy to look at it and explain the differences.

Materials we spec

Across CF83 the Victorian terrace stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: 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. If you have had conflicting advice, it is usually because someone quoted without checking materials matched to the stock. Two electricians looking at the same readings tend to agree. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.

Caerphilly context

We work to the current edition of BS 7671 and note where an older installation departs from it and why that matters. Older installations around CF83 show this more often than newer ones.
