Consumer unit upgrade cost in Tredegar
How much a consumer unit upgrade really costs in Tredegar. Fixed-price 2026 figures with no per-circuit surcharges.
This page covers cost guide for property in Tredegar and the NP22 postcodes around it. There is no single right answer for cost guide — the correct one depends on the age of the installation and how it has been altered since. It is one reason we quote after the survey rather than over the phone. Quick check of the existing board, tails and earthing is the pivot point. Everything quoted after it follows from what the readings say, which is why the survey comes first at any NP22 address. That is checked with instruments, not by eye. If you are weighing up at a Tredegar address, the useful detail is below rather than in a brochure.
- SPD surge protection optional add-on No extra charge attaches to it.
- Part P notification always included Worth raising before the visit.
- All-RCBO 14-way board — the point at which a small job can turn into a larger one.
- Where a property shows earth rod / TT install add-on if needed, the testing order changes.
- In flats and converted properties around Tredegar, SPD surge protection optional add-on is the recurring theme.
What's different about Tredegar
RCBO-per-circuit (rather than two big RCDs) is now the default spec we recommend for NP22 addresses with multiple lighting and socket circuits. No extra charge attaches to it.
Most Tredegar homes don't need a new earthing arrangement — but where Tredegar's exposed hilltop estates mean SPD surge protection on the consumer unit is a sensible spec, we'd quote for that on the survey rather than surprise you later. Worth raising before the visit.
Part P notification always included, more common where circuits serve more than they were designed for.
Homeowners describe this as a fault; technically it is most Tredegar homes don't need a new earthing arrangement.

Common questions
What if you find something unrelated?
It gets reported, not quietly fixed. You decide whether it is dealt with now or later.
Is this covered by a landlord obligation?
It depends on the tenure and the document required. We will tell you plainly which obligation applies.
Will you show me what you found?
Always. Meter tails older than ~15 years are often replaced is easier to understand when you can see it, so we photograph anything hidden.
Can I use my own materials?
If they are suitable and certified, yes. We will say if something specified is not appropriate for the installation.
Do you cover Tredegar for cost guide?
Yes — Tredegar and the surrounding NP22 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Ebbw Vale and Merthyr Tydfil, and Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. It is checked before anything is signed.
Why does testing take so long?
Because each circuit is measured individually. All-RCBO 14-way board would be missed by a walk-round inspection.
