Call for Newport Get a quote

Most 1930s semi properties across Newport were rewired 1980s–2010s; ring finals commonly extended without upgrading the CU. That single fact drives the eicr — electrical safety checks conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Focus on the porch or hallway, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your 1930s semi's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — roof-space access is straightforward, loft cabling is easy — but plasterboard-on-batten ceilings mean second-fix downlight work needs careful joist mapping.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

What we build into every quote

Common 1930s semi findings we flag before quoting: ring finals extended into the kitchen or a rear extension without checking the R1+R2.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a 1930s semi in Newport isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1980s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1925–1939 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.

Construction & access

Roof-space access is straightforward, loft cabling is easy — but plasterboard-on-batten ceilings mean second-fix downlight work needs careful joist mapping.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1980s–2010s; ring finals commonly extended without upgrading the CU. On a 1930s semi you should expect us to flag: ring finals extended into the kitchen or a rear extension without checking the R1+R2; back-boiler removals leaving abandoned wiring in the airing cupboard; loft-conversion feeds spurred off the upstairs ring rather than a dedicated circuit.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on 1930s bay-fronted semi work: 18th Edition metal-clad CU; RCBO per circuit; additional CU for a loft or garage sub-main where the main board is short of ways. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

Newport context

Across NP10–NP20 the 1930s semi stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: ring finals extended into the kitchen or a rear extension without checking the R1+R2. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.
