Call for NeathGet a quote

Two things dominate kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a ex-council semi in Neath: council-era MK plastic split-load CU still installed — reliable but no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs, and external meter cabinet with the tails routing through an exterior wall — sometimes on an older tails spec. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice.

We work across SA10–SA11 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.
