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.
The developer cable stub is not a working charger — we terminate it properly, add the isolator and certify the full install.
Two things dominate ev charger installation on a new-build in Aberdare: developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed, and no SPD retrofit, which the 2022 amendment now expects. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice.
We work across CF44 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.
New-Build House properties are a distinctive part of the Aberdare housing mix — ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach with original 1950s wiring, alongside 1980s semis in Aberaman, particularly around Trecynon & Cwmbach. We work on this stock weekly.
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.
Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach with original 1950s wiring, alongside 1980s semis in Aberaman — the new-build is a recognisable slice of that mix.
No. The stub usually ends at an isolator inside the garage. We fit the OCPP charger, test the full circuit back to the CU, and certify to BS 7671.
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.
No — surveys for Aberdare new-build enquiries are free. You only pay once the fixed-price scope is agreed.
For a new-build usually yes — a 15-minute survey or a set of photos of the utility room or garage and the consumer unit is enough to write a fixed price.
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.
Beyond Aberdare itself, we regularly cover new-build work across Merthyr Tydfil, Mountain Ash, Pontypridd on the same fixed-price model — same materials, same certificate format.
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.
Calling is faster than a form when the new-build has quirks (developer CU maxed out — no spare ways for an EV charger or garden feed). Two-minute triage, honest read on lead time, booked into the diary the same call.
