EV Charger Installation on a post-war semi in Caerphilly is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is c.1945–1965, walls are cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels, and the practical constraint is that good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the hallway or garage, the cable route and the consumer unit location before pricing — because on this property type the standard scope is only standard once you know what you're working around.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Focus on the hallway or garage, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your post-war semi's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

Construction & access

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on post-war semi work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD retrofit; shower feed uprated to 10mm where the run length demands it. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
