Adding what the developer didn't — EV point, outside lighting, garden sockets, home-office feeds.
Two questions dominate consumer unit upgrades enquiries from new-build owners across Mountain Ash: what does the fixed price actually cover, and what does the certificate need to say so the solicitor or agent signs off first time?
We answer both at quote stage, on paper. No "we'll see on the day", no fictional starting price. If a variable is real for your Mountain Ash address, we survey it before quoting — not after invoicing.
Photos of the CU and meter, or a 15-minute visit — enough to write a fixed quote.
Priced to your moving in, invoice routed to the homeowner, no line-item surprises.
Same-week for standard scope, planned longer where the shutdown window or new-build home logistics demand it.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence, and any Part P or licensing paperwork emailed the evening the job signs off.
About 18 miles from Cardiff, Mountain Ash sits inside our standard patch — we're regularly in Aberdare and Pontypridd on the same fixed-price model.
The developer board is usually 18th Edition but often maxed out — an RCBO board plus SPD is a small upgrade that unlocks the whole house.
Portfolio new-builds often manage new-build homes in Mountain Ash, Aberdare and Pontypridd — we consolidate the schedule so it lands as one visit day, not three.
Any change is priced and agreed in writing before we do it. The number on the original quote is the number on the invoice unless you signed off an extra.
Usually not a swap, often a spare-way add or an SPD retrofit — half the cost, all the benefit.
Standard turnaround for a Mountain Ash new-build enquiry is a written fixed quote inside 24 hours and a booked visit inside the week. Deadline-driven briefs (moving in) get prioritised.
The homeowner, as standard. We handle split billing for new-build owners managing multiple new-build homes across Mountain Ash.
Modifications that don't void the developer warranty, certified and Part P notified in your name. All emailed the same evening the job signs off.
Homeowner work in Mountain Ash makes up the bulk of our diary. That means real recent projects in the postcode, real photos, and a real number to call if anything needs a follow-up.
If you take one thing from this page: the trigger you called about (moving in) is what the quote should be built around. Everything else — brand of gear, exact scope, upgrade suggestions — is downstream of that.
Calling is faster than a form for deadline-driven new-build briefs. Two-minute triage, honest read on lead time, booked into the diary the same call.
