Call for Port TalbotGet a quote

Two things dominate ev charger installation on a stone cottage in Port Talbot: TT earthing with an aged earth rod — measured Ra values often above the safe threshold, and damp near the incoming supply because the meter sits in an old outhouse. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice.

We work across SA12–SA13 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Focus on the outhouse or pantry, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

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

  3. 03

    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.

What we build into every quote

  • 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 Port Talbot 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 pre-1900 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
