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 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.
Beyond Pontypridd itself, we regularly cover modern flat work across Cardiff, Aberdare, Caerphilly on the same fixed-price model — same materials, same certificate format.
