modern cavity construction, service voids designed in, plasterboard on dabs. Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
If you own a new-build in Ebbw Vale and need emergency callouts, the right spec is usually not the most expensive one. On this stock the sensible answer is spare-way CU add — matched to the wiring generation, not a lift-and-shift from a new-build brochure.
That is the standard we quote to. Fixed price, honest survey, SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure, and paperwork the next EICR won't question.
Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
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 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.
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.
Priced against your new-build's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
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.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.
In the Ebbw Vale area, new-build addresses cluster in specific streets — we know the layouts before we walk in, which shortens the survey and firms up the quote.
