Our manual to electric conversion service in Swansea
Swansea is part of our West Glamorgan coverage, and addresses in the city's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of West Glamorgan. We also cover Gorseinon, Neath and Llanelli, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Work in Swansea starts with a free survey: we measure the opening, check what the box and guides will fix to, and confirm the power supply.
Any electrical work for a new or converted shutter in Swansea is carried out to BS 7671, and making good is described in the quotation.
