Consumer Unit Upgrades on a Edwardian semi in Neath is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is c.1901–1918, walls are 9-inch solid brick with plaster-on-lath internally, timber-framed front bay, and the practical constraint is that side-return access on most plots, which gives an ev cable a straight run from the cu to a driveway charger without touching the front elevation.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the hallway or cellar, the cable route and the consumer unit location before pricing — because on this property type the standard scope is only standard once you know what you're working around.
