Call for Port Talbot Get a quote

For steelworks-era terraces in Aberavon and Sandfields in particular, consumer unit upgrades on a edwardian semi throws up a fairly predictable set of findings. Owners of Edwardian semi properties in Port Talbot, Neath and the wider area get one point of contact for the lot — quote, work, certificate, after-care. A property in Port Talbot that has never been inspected is not necessarily unsafe — it is simply unknown, and that is the part worth fixing. Focus on the hallway is the part worth confirming rather than assuming.

If something falls outside what we can do properly, we say so and point you at who does it, rather than attempting it. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round. You can spend a lot on consumer unit upgrades on a edwardian semi or very little. Which one is right depends on measurements, not on the quote.

What we build into every quote

Very often — cable routing planned around 9-inch solid brick with plaster-on-lath internally, timber-framed front bay — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Typically for steelworks-era terraces in Aberavon and Sandfields: common Edwardian semi findings we flag before quoting: front-bay window seats hiding original single-insulated conductors.
Cable routing planned around 9-inch solid brick with plaster-on-lath, which is why the whole circuit gets tested and not just the visible part.

Construction & access

The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. It takes minutes to confirm and saves hours later.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Ask for the plain-English version at any point; that is the version we prefer too. We work locally every week, so this is routine rather than a special journey.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on edwardian semi work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU; TT earth rod where the DNO earth is missing; IP65 outdoor isolator on the side-return. Most enquiries about this start with a symptom and end with common Edwardian semi findings we flag before quoting. We would rather set that expectation now than on the day. Older installations around SA12–SA13 show this more often than newer ones.

Port Talbot context

A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. Which is why the schedule of results is worth reading, not filing.
