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.
Two things dominate full property rewires on a new-build in Port Talbot: 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 SA12–SA13 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.
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.
Across SA12–SA13 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.

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.
Owners of new-build properties in Port Talbot, Neath and the wider area get one point of contact for the lot — quote, work, certificate, after-care.

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.
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.
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.
