If you are weighing up consumer unit upgrades on a new-build at a Port Talbot address, the useful starting point is the age and history of the wiring. Short version: consumer unit upgrades on a new-build in Port Talbot works best when the survey accounts for modern cavity construction, the quote is fixed, and the materials (spare-way CU add) are matched to the stock — not lifted from a new-build spec. Timing is the other variable. Where focus on the utility room or garage, the consumer applies, the visit runs longer, and we would rather book the right slot than rush the wrong one. Nothing about it is unusual for property of that age.

Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. On a Port Talbot job that usually shows up as NICEIC certificate, photo evidence. Consumer unit upgrades on a new-build looks the same on every website. What differs is how it is scoped, and that is what this page is about.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Priced against your new-build's specific construction, not a template, which is the difference between a repair and a patch.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your new-build's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises. Simple to check, easy to miss.
03
Booked around access
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P — the part of the job that protects the rest of it.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
What that means in practice: 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

Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect. Simple to check, easy to miss.
Where the property has been altered or extended, fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to post-2005 construction is the common finding.

Construction & access

A fair amount of this work is preparation: confirming wiring generation on record (current, planning the route, agreeing what happens if something unexpected appears behind the plaster. Two properties on the same street can differ on this entirely.

Wiring generation & likely findings

The certificate is emailed and kept on file, so replacing a lost copy is easy. The regulations change; the approach of measuring before advising does not.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on new-build house work: spare-way CU add; SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure; OCPP-compliant charger onto the developer stub. Most enquiries reaching us from Port Talbot arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. Anything else found on the day is raised with you before it is touched.

Port Talbot context

Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold.
