This page is for anyone in Neath trying to work out whether eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace is their next job or next year's. Tight cellar entries, no side-return access, and party walls that can't take a chase. The regulations set the standard; materials matched to the stock sets the effort required to meet it at your particular address in Neath Port Talbot Council. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.

If something falls outside what we can do properly, we say so and point you at who does it, rather than attempting it. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone. The purpose of this page is to make eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace in Neath predictable rather than mysterious.

What we build into every quote

One of the usual points: fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1880–1901 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect. This is the part people ask about most.
A recurring one across SA10–SA11: materials matched to the stock.
Where fittings have been changed over the years, cable routing planned around solid 9-inch brick with plaster-on-lath is the usual culprit.

Construction & access

We take the view that diary planned for the access constraint should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. That is one reason our price does not move after the survey.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Prices are fixed after the survey, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If it turns out to be a smaller job than expected, the price reflects that.

Materials we spec

Victorian terrace EICRs pass or fail on lighting-circuit CPC continuity — the junction boxes are older and often sit in inaccessible ceiling voids. Every property we attend in and around Neath gets the same order of operations, and it starts with establishing fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1880–1901 construction. Around Neath Port Talbot Council that is a familiar finding rather than an alarming one.

Neath context

What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Cable routing planned around solid 9-inch brick with plaster-on-lath matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. That detail is what a proper survey is for.
