22kW 3-phase EV charger installation in Newport for homes with 3-phase supply and small businesses. DNO liaison, fixed price.
Ev chargers: what is involved, what it depends on, and what we would check first at a NP10–NP20 address. Work in Newport is planned so that the disruptive part is as short as it can reasonably be. The paperwork explains it in the same words we would use on site. Properties around Newport that have changed use — a room converted, an extension added — usually need a wider look than the original request implies. Around NP10–NP20 it is most homes in Victorian terraces that decides how long the visit takes. What follows is what we actually do about ev chargers in Newport, rather than a general description of the trade.

What's different about Newport
Worth planning for: 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 — relevant because 3-phase installs land heavier loads on the earthing arrangement and the CU often gets upgraded at the same time.
What that means in practice: most homes in Victorian terraces around Maindee and Pill, 1930s semis in Allt-yr-yn, and new-build estates on Glan Llyn and Celtic Horizons are single-phase — we verify the supply on the survey before quoting. A 3-phase upgrade from the DNO is possible but costs and timelines vary.
If for Newport businesses on existing 3-phase supplies (workshops, small is present, the report will say so with a photograph.

Common questions
How long does a visit usually take?
It depends on circuit count and access. We give a time estimate for the Newport address when the job is booked rather than afterwards.
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 Newport landlord.
What should I have ready before you arrive?
Access to the board and to the affected area, plus any previous certificates. That is enough to start at the Newport property.
Will the power be off for long?
Only for the parts that require isolation. We plan the sequence so the Newport property is not dead all day.
Do you cover Newport for ev chargers?
Very often — 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.
How do you decide what actually needs doing?
By testing first. Fixed price including all DNO paperwork is confirmed or ruled out with instruments before anything is quoted for the Newport property.
You get one price, one electrician and one point of contact from first call to certificate. We cover Newport and the NP10–NP20 postcodes, including Caerleon, for ev chargers. If a survey is the sensible first step, we will say so and price it separately so you are not paying twice. We cover Newport and the NP10–NP20 postcodes, including Risca, for ev chargers.
