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.
If you own a new-build in Port Talbot and need ev charger installation, 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.
New-Build House properties are a distinctive part of the Port Talbot housing mix — steelworks-era terraces in Aberavon and Sandfields, post-war semis in Baglan, and coastal properties towards Margam. 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. steelworks-era terraces in Aberavon and Sandfields, post-war semis in Baglan, and coastal properties towards Margam — 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.

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 Port Talbot itself, we regularly cover new-build work across Neath, Bridgend, Maesteg on the same fixed-price model — same materials, same certificate format.
Bottom line: new-build house owners in Port Talbot deserve a quote calibrated to post-2005 construction, not a template. That's what we do, on every job.
Send the address, a photo of the utility room or garage and the consumer unit, and the add what the developer skipped you're working towards. Written fixed quote back inside 24 hours, priced to the actual construction of your new-build.
