EV Charger Installation on a modern flat in Port Talbot 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.

Construction & access

Access is easy inside the flat; the constraint is the freeholder relationship for anything touching the common parts.

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.

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 Port Talbot isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
