Call for BridgendGet a quote

Most stone cottage properties across Bridgend were rewired 1990s–2010s; earthing arrangement often TT with an earth rod. That single fact drives the ev charger installation conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.

What we build into every quote

  • Cable routing planned around solid stone with lime mortar, thick internal walls, timber ceilings — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
  • Common stone cottage findings we flag before quoting: TT earthing with an aged earth rod — measured Ra values often above the safe threshold.
  • Access constraints priced into the diary — a stone cottage in Bridgend 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.

Construction & access

Solid-stone walls mean cable chasing is off the table — routing goes through skirting, floors and lofts.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; earthing arrangement often TT with an earth rod. 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.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on stone cottage work: new earth rod with tested Ra reading; SPD retrofit (genuinely useful in rural exposure); surface-run steel conduit where wall-chasing isn't an option. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your stone cottage's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

    Booked around access

    Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — solid-stone walls mean cable chasing is off the table — routing goes through skirting, floors and lofts.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.
