Honest guidance on installing an EV charger on a flat or terraced house in Ystrad Mynach. Cable routing, freeholder consent, OZEV grant.
Here is how property type works in practice for a property in Ystrad Mynach, start to finish. There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always look at parking, cable route and consent route.

- In our experience locally, front-of-pavement installs (with council consent)
- Cable channel / gully solutions No extra charge attaches to it.
- Freeholder/landlord consent template provided — noted, measured, then explained in plain terms.
- OZEV grant still available for flats and renters — one of several possibilities, all of which get checked.
- Single-day install where access allows — more likely where earlier work was never certificated.
What's different about Ystrad Mynach

Caerphilly 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 Ystrad Mynach. No extra charge attaches to it.
