Gorseinon and the surrounding SA4 area — Penllergaer, Loughor, Pontarddulais and Parc Gorseinon — combine a large private-rental stock with a growing base of small commercial and light-industrial units. That makes EICRs, landlord electrical certificates and fixed-wire testing a steady need for letting agents, business owners and homeowners alike.
FLD has tested and certified installations across west Swansea since 1991. Parc Gorseinon, the former Mond Nickel works site now under mixed-use redevelopment, and the trade units around the town centre are all within our core 15-minute response radius from the Morfa base.
Testing services we provide in Gorseinon
EICR (fixed-wire testing)
BS 7671 condition reporting for homes, shops, offices and industrial units in SA4, with clear C1/C2/C3 coding and a separately-priced remedial schedule.
Landlord EICRs
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act and the Fitness for Human Habitation (Wales) Regulations 2022 (mandatory since 1 December 2022), every Welsh rental on an occupation contract needs a valid EICR — at least five-yearly — and the landlord must give the contract-holder a copy within 14 days of occupation and within 14 days of any re-test. Without a valid EICR the property can fail the fitness-for-human-habitation standard. We issue NICEIC certification accepted by every Welsh council and managing agent.
Emergency lighting testing
BS 5266 monthly function and annual discharge testing for commercial premises, HMOs and care/education settings across Gorseinon and Penllergaer.
PAT & periodic inspection
Appliance testing and scheduled periodic inspection to keep SA4 businesses and rentals compliant between EICR cycles.
Indicative pricing
| Property type | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Domestic EICR (1–3 bed) | from £150 |
| Commercial unit / shop | priced per distribution board after a quick scope |
| Industrial / multi-board | fixed quote following a free site review |
Every quote is fixed and confirmed after a quick scope — no call-out surprises. Remedial works identified in an EICR are always priced separately so you stay in control.
