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 awkward part of ev charger installation on a Bridgend new-build isn't the install — it's the route. Service voids and pre-planned cable routes make additions straightforward — but the developer board is often the bottleneck.
We map the route at survey, mark it up on a photo, and price against that specific plan. Nothing gets discovered mid-job that could have been priced at quote stage.
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 Bridgend 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.
No — surveys for Bridgend new-build enquiries are free. You only pay once the fixed-price scope is agreed.
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.
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.
spare-way CU add; SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure; OCPP-compliant charger onto the developer stub. All on the written quote.
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.
New-Build House stock isn't confined to Bridgend — the same construction era shows up across Porthcawl and Maesteg. We consolidate diary days across the postcode.
Practical next step: photos of the utility room or garage or a 15-minute survey, fixed written quote back inside 24 hours, work booked around your add what the developer skipped. That's the whole process for a Bridgend new-build, on one page.
