Call for Ebbw Vale Get a quote

There is no single price for consumer unit upgrades on a stone cottage in Ebbw Vale, and anyone quoting one before looking is guessing. Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; earthing arrangement often TT with an earth rod. There is a version of this job that is quick and a version that is not, and the difference is almost always focus on the outhouse or pantry, the consumer unit. A short survey tells us which one your property is. For valley terraces in Beaufort and Cwm that detail matters more than it does elsewhere.

Where previous work has no certification behind it, we test it rather than take it on trust. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open. This page is for anyone in Ebbw Vale trying to work out whether consumer unit upgrades on a stone cottage is their next job or next year's.

Construction & access

A fair amount of this work is preparation: confirming materials matched to the stock, planning the route, agreeing what happens if something unexpected appears behind the plaster. Nothing about it is unusual for property of that age.

Wiring generation & likely findings

If you have had a quote elsewhere, we are happy to look at it and explain the differences. If the readings do not support the work, you will be told that before anything is booked.

Materials we spec

On this stock the sensible answer is new earth rod with tested Ra reading — matched to the wiring generation, not a lift-and-shift from a new-build brochure. The regulations set the standard; common stone cottage findings we flag before quoting sets the effort required to meet it at your particular address in Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council. Two properties on the same street can differ on this entirely.
