This is a practical page about consumer unit upgrades on a bungalow in Tredegar — no stock photography claims, no invented statistics. On a bungalow you should expect us to flag: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load; no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs; extension added over the years with a mixed-vintage sub-board. Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. Anyone testing properly will reach the same conclusion.

Where previous work has no certification behind it, we test it rather than take it on trust. It rarely changes the price, but it does change the plan. The Tredegar version of this job is shaped by the local housing: valley terraces around Sirhowy and Georgetown.

What we build into every quote

Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
Materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU, plus SPD retrofit. It affects timing more than cost.
Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, which is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.
It is common for materials matched to the stock to be mistaken for something more serious.

Construction & access

The practical question for a Tredegar property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. Focus on the hall cupboard, is the part worth confirming rather than assuming.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Older property, altered property and previously let property all get the same testing discipline. Access, timing and tenants are all workable — say what you need when you book.

Materials we spec

Loft-run cabling makes rewires and CU upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire. We take the view that diary planned for the access constraint should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. It takes minutes to confirm and saves hours later.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Priced against your bungalow's specific construction, not a template — required for the certificate to mean anything.
02
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off. It affects timing more than cost.
03
Written fixed quote
If NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P turns out to be unnecessary, it comes off the price.
04
Booked around access
The relevant point here: diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — loft-run cabling makes rewires and cu upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.
