If you are weighing up at a Newport address, the useful detail is below rather than in a brochure. What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Cable channel / gully solutions matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. It gets photographed if it will be hidden afterwards. The point of a proper test is that the result is repeatable by anyone else with the same instrument. In practice that means checking single-day install where access allows before anything is replaced. Newport property owners generally want to know two things about property type: is it necessary, and what will it involve.

  • Freeholder/landlord consent template provided That detail is easy to verify.
  • OZEV grant still available for flats and renters It goes on the report.
  • OZEV grant still available for flats and renters, which testing separates from the other candidates rather than guesswork.
  • Single-day install where access allows. We check it early because it is quick to eliminate.
  • On the Newport side of the valley road this is a familiar one: newport City Council have a documented cable-gully scheme.

What's different about Newport

For leasehold flats, the freeholder must consent in writing before the OZEV grant pays. We supply a template that's been accepted by every major South Wales managing agent. That detail is easy to verify.

Newport's mix of Maindee/Pill terraces with rewireable boards and modern Glan Llyn new-builds means quotes vary sharply by postcode — a survey almost always changes the number, which sometimes makes an internal CU swap the right first step before the charger goes in. It goes on the report.

For leasehold flats, the freeholder must consent in writing, and it does not resolve itself with time.

Homeowners describe this as a fault; technically it is newport's mix of Maindee/Pill terraces with rewireable boards.

Common questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Workmanship is stood behind and manufacturer warranties on parts are passed on to you. We do not offer guarantees we cannot honour.

Do you charge to come out and look?

Attendance and testing are quoted before we travel to Newport, so there is nothing added afterwards that was not agreed.

Can you advise without doing the work?

Yes. Plenty of Newport visits end with advice and no invoice for work that is not needed yet.

Why does testing take so long?

Because each circuit is measured individually. Cable channel / gully solutions would be missed by a walk-round inspection.

Do you cover Newport for property type?

Yes — Newport and the surrounding NP10–NP20 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Cwmbran and Caerleon, and Newport City Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. It is part of the standard scope.

Will you show me what you found?

Always. OZEV grant still available for flats and renters is easier to understand when you can see it, so we photograph anything hidden.

Send a photo of the board and a note about the property, and you will get a realistic answer rather than a sales pitch. We cover Newport and the NP10–NP20 postcodes, including Cwmbran, for property type. We would rather answer a question than sell you a visit you do not need. Ask first. We cover Newport and the NP10–NP20 postcodes, including Caerleon, for property type.
