EICR — Electrical Safety Checks on a new-build in Swansea is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is post-2005, walls are modern cavity construction, service voids designed in, plasterboard on dabs, and the practical constraint is that service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the utility room or garage, 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 room or garage, 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 new-build'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 — service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

Swansea context

Across SA1–SA7 the new-build stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.

What we build into every quote

Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to post-2005 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
Materials matched to the stock: spare-way CU add, plus SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure.
Cable routing planned around modern cavity construction, service voids designed in, plasterboard on dabs — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".

Construction & access

Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically current — often 17th or 18th Edition compliant at handover but with no headroom. On a new-build you should expect us to flag: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed; no SPD retrofit, which the 2022 amendment now expects; EV cable stub left by the developer that terminates at an isolator, not a working charger.

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. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

FAQs — new-build house in Swansea

What's specific about eicr — electrical safety checks on a new-build?+

Two things: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed, and the wiring generation — current — often 17th or 18th Edition compliant at handover but with no headroom. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.

Will the work affect any original features?+

Not unless the quote says so. On period stock in particular we route through floors, lofts and non-original plaster; cornices, dado rails and original panelling stay intact.

How common is a new-build in Swansea?+

Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. coastal terraces in Mumbles and Sketty, older miners' housing in Morriston, and post-war semis around Gorseinon — the new-build is a recognisable slice of that mix.

How do you handle cable routing on a new-build?+

Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck. We mark the route at survey and price against it.

Summary

If you take one thing from this page: the awkward part is the routing, not the install. On a new-build, service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck — that's what the quote should reflect.
