Consumer Unit Upgrades on a modern flat in Mountain Ash is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is post-2000 block, walls are modern block construction, service ducts to each flat, ceiling voids used for cable routing, and the practical constraint is that access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the utility cupboard, 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.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Focus on the utility cupboard, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your modern flat's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

What we build into every quote

Materials matched to the stock: SPD retrofit, plus RCBO-per-circuit CU where the base board only had RCDs.
Cable routing planned around modern block construction, service ducts to each flat, ceiling voids used for cable routing — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Common modern flat findings we flag before quoting: developer CU inside a bedroom or kitchen — noise nuisance from RCBO trips.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a modern flat in Mountain Ash isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically current, but often ex-developer with the same headroom issues as new-builds. On a modern flat you should expect us to flag: developer CU inside a bedroom or kitchen — noise nuisance from RCBO trips; no SPD in the base install; communal EV provision governed by the freeholder, not the individual flat.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on modern flat work: SPD retrofit; RCBO-per-circuit CU where the base board only had RCDs; sub-main uplift only where the freeholder consents. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
