Why the property type matters

Post-war driveways are ideal for a straightforward EV install — CU-to-charger runs are short and usually inside the garage.

EV Charger Installation on a post-war semi in Port Talbot 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.

Yes — garage installs are the easiest we do. Short cable run, isolator on the garage wall, charger on the driveway or the garage front.
