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 Swansea 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.

Swansea context

Post-War Semi properties are a distinctive part of the Swansea housing mix — coastal terraces in Mumbles and Sketty, older miners' housing in Morriston, and post-war semis around Gorseinon, particularly around Mumbles & Swansea Bay. We work on this stock weekly.

What to expect

01

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.

Access constraints priced into the diary — a post-war semi in Swansea isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1990s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1965 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.

FAQs — post-war semi in Swansea

Is there a call-out or survey fee?+

No — surveys for Swansea post-war semi enquiries are free. You only pay once the fixed-price scope is agreed.

Can you fit an EV charger in the garage of a post-war semi?+

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

Do you need to see the property before quoting?+

For a post-war semi usually yes — a 15-minute survey or a set of photos of the hallway or garage and the consumer unit is enough to write a fixed price.

What materials do you spec on this property type?+

metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD retrofit; shower feed uprated to 10mm where the run length demands it. All on the written quote.

What's specific about ev charger installation on a post-war semi?+

Two things: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout, and the wiring generation — rewired 1990s–2010s. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.
