Here is how consumer unit upgrades on a stone cottage works in practice for a property in Tredegar, start to finish. On a stone cottage you should expect us to flag: TT earthing with an aged earth rod — measured Ra values often above the safe threshold; damp near the incoming supply because the meter sits in an old outhouse; no SPD, and rural supply overhead lines that see genuine lightning-strike risk. Most enquiries reaching us from Tredegar arrive after something has already been tried. Starting from measurements rather than the previous attempt saves time. On valley terraces around Sirhowy and Georgetown it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.
Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. Around NP22 it is the single most common reason a job runs long. Consumer unit upgrades on a stone cottage: what is involved, what it depends on, and what we would check first at a NP22 address.
