Garden office electrics in Tredegar: SWA supply, sub-board, sockets, lighting and heating. Fully certified to BS 7671.
Before booking anywhere in Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, it is worth knowing which parts of the job are fixed and which depend on your property. Tredegar properties near Ebbw Vale are covered on the same schedule, so a joint visit is often possible if a neighbour needs the same thing. We would say the same to a family member. Properties around Tredegar that have changed use — a room converted, an extension added — usually need a wider look than the original request implies. You will get the plain version, not the technical one, unless you ask. Outdoor electrics is worth doing properly once rather than cheaply twice.
- Where the property allows: SWA armoured supply from house to office
- The practical version — sub-board with own RCD protection
- Properties handled by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council building control show the same pattern: sub-board with own RCD protection.
- Where sockets, lighting, heating, data shows up, we test the neighbouring circuits too.
- Outdoor lighting & security spurs, which explains why the problem comes and goes rather than staying put.
What's different about Tredegar
Where the property allows: tredegar's exposed hilltop estates mean SPD surge protection on the consumer unit is a sensible spec, not a luxury — relevant because the supply to a separate building is treated as a "second installation" and needs robust earthing.
The practical version — for terraces around Sirhowy and Georgetown, we often combine the garden office install with EV charger cabling on the same trench to save on groundwork.
Fully certified + Part P notified — identified by comparing readings circuit by circuit.
Most Tredegar gardens need 10–25m of SWA buried — noted, measured, then explained in plain terms.

Common questions
Will you work on a tenanted property?
Yes. We arrange access with the tenant directly if you prefer, and the report goes to you as the Tredegar landlord.
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 clean up afterwards?
Yes, and we make good where we have lifted boards or cut access. Anything larger is agreed in advance.
Will you show me what you found?
Always. SWA armoured supply from house to office is easier to understand when you can see it, so we photograph anything hidden.
Do you cover Tredegar for outdoor electrics?
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. That is measured, not assumed.
Do you handle larger planned projects?
Yes, phased across a programme so the Tredegar site stays usable while work proceeds.
