Welsh landlord context

  • Renting Homes (Wales) Act and Fitness for Human Habitation (Wales) Regulations 2022 require a five-yearly EICR for every Welsh private rental
  • Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2023 binds social landlords to specified electrical safety obligations
  • Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 fitness-for-human-habitation criteria include electrical safety

FLD delivers all of the above under a single NICEIC Approved Contractor sign-off, with reports in your preferred format and follow-up remedials priced separately.

Our process

  1. 1
    Site survey

    A named FLD engineer visits your site, measures the roof or installation zone, inspects the incoming supply and verifies load, structural integrity and orientation. For commercial sites we run a full discovery including half-hourly consumption data where available.

  2. 2
    Design and proposal

    We produce a scaled layout, generation model using PVGIS data, financial model with simple and post-tax payback, DNO G99 or G98 notification pack where relevant, and a fixed-price quotation. Every proposal names the exact panels, inverters and mounting system.

  3. 3
    DNO and planning

    We handle NGED G99 Type A applications for commercial systems, G98 notifications for domestic, and any permitted development confirmation or full planning submissions required for listed buildings or conservation areas.

  4. 4
    Install and commission

    FLD directly-employed engineers install under a single NICEIC Approved Contractor sign-off. Commissioning includes BS 7671 testing, SolarEdge monitoring portal setup, MCS certification where applicable, and handover of all documentation.

  5. 5
    Aftercare

    Insurance-backed NICEIC warranty, 25-to-30-year panel performance warranty from the tier-1 manufacturer, 12-year SolarEdge inverter warranty, and ongoing O and M support including remote performance monitoring.
