The starting question with consumer unit upgrades on a new-build is always the same: what does the existing installation test at? Beyond Newport itself, we regularly cover new-build work across Cwmbran, Caerleon, Risca on the same fixed-price model — same materials, same certificate format. Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.
A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold. We take a steady number of consumer unit upgrades on a new-build enquiries from Newport each month, and the pattern is fairly consistent.
