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 Newport and need full property rewires, 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.
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.
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.
Across NP10–NP20 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.
Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. Victorian terraces around Maindee and Pill, 1930s semis in Allt-yr-yn, and new-build estates on Glan Llyn and Celtic Horizons — the new-build is a recognisable slice of that mix.
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 Newport 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.
