This page is for anyone in Aberdare trying to work out whether property type is their next job or next year's. Most enquiries reaching us from Aberdare arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. Two properties on the same street can differ on this entirely. We do not upsell a full replacement where a component is at fault, and we do not patch something that has reached the end of its life. Neither of us benefits from finding that out halfway through. The purpose of this page is to make property type in Aberdare predictable rather than mysterious.

  • In most Aberdare cases: OZEV grant still available for flats and renters
  • The relevant point here: single-day install where access allows
  • Single-day install where access allows. In practice that is confirmed with a meter, not a torch.
  • Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council have a documented is worth checking on any ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach of that age.
  • In flats and converted properties around Aberdare, for leasehold flats, the freeholder must consent in writing is the recurring theme.

What's different about Aberdare

In most Aberdare cases: older Aberdare cottages frequently lack RCD protection on any circuit, meaning a consumer unit upgrade is almost always the first remedial after an EICR, which sometimes makes an internal CU swap the right first step before the charger goes in.

The relevant point here: rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council have a documented cable-gully scheme for cars parked on the highway — we handle the application as part of the install in Aberdare.

Older Aberdare cottages frequently lack RCD protection on any — the sort of thing an inspection catches long before a fault does.

Front-of-pavement installs (with council consent), which older installations in this area produce fairly regularly.

How we'd do it

  1. 1
    Site check
    Look at parking, cable route and consent route — no shortcuts, because the paperwork has to stand up.
  2. 2
    Fit
    The relevant point here: single-day install once consent is in.
  3. 3
    Certify
    Single-day install once consent is, which is the difference between a repair and a patch.
  4. 4
    Consent
    Freeholder letter and/or council gully application. We flag it rather than assume you know.

Common questions

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 handle larger planned projects?

Yes, phased across a programme so the Aberdare site stays usable while work proceeds.

Is this notifiable work?

It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.

What happens to old parts?

They are removed and disposed of correctly, and shown to you first if you want to see what failed.

Do you cover Aberdare for property type?

As a rule, yes — Aberdare and the surrounding CF44 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Merthyr Tydfil and Mountain Ash, and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it.

What paperwork do I get?

The certification appropriate to the work, listing the circuits tested and the readings recorded, not a receipt with a tick on it.

Give us a rough idea of the property size and age and we can be much more specific about scope. We cover Aberdare and the CF44 postcodes, including Merthyr Tydfil, for property type. Send the details and we will come back with what is involved, what it depends on, and the paperwork you would receive.
