Edwardian Semi kitchen & bathroom upgrades — Neath (SA10–SA11)

9-inch solid brick with plaster-on-lath internally, timber-framed front bay. 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.

Most Edwardian semi properties across Neath were rewired 1970s–2000s; front-bay circuits and porch lighting frequently missed on partial rewires. That single fact drives the kitchen & bathroom upgrades 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 we build into every quote

  • Wiring generation on record (rewired 1970s–2000s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1901–1918 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
  • 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 TT earth rod where the DNO earth is missing.
