New-Build House ev charger installation — Cardiff (CF10–CF24)

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.

Call for CardiffGet a quote

Most new-build properties across Cardiff were current — often 17th or 18th Edition compliant at handover but with no headroom. That single fact drives the ev charger installation conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.

What to expect

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your new-build's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    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

  • Wiring generation on record (current — often 17th or 18th Edition compliant at handover but with no headroom) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
  • 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.

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.

Cardiff context

Across CF10–CF24 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.

FAQs — new-build house in Cardiff

What materials do you spec on this property type?+

spare-way CU add; SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure; OCPP-compliant charger onto the developer stub. All on the written quote.

The developer left an EV cable — is that all I need?+

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.

What's specific about ev charger installation 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 Cardiff?+

Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cathays and Roath, 1930s semis around Whitchurch, and modern estates in Pontprennau and Pentwyn — the new-build is a recognisable slice of that mix.
