Full Property Rewires on a post-war semi in Neath 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 we build into every quote

Materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit, plus SPD retrofit.
Cable routing planned around cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Common post-war semi findings we flag before quoting: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a post-war semi in Neath isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.

Construction & access
