How much does a home EV charger cost to install in Bridgend?
Most home EV charger installations start from £900 + VAT (£1,080 inc VAT), fully fitted — including the survey, installation and NAPIT certification. Aled fits Tesla, Hypervolt, Ohme, Pod Point, Zappi and BG Sync chargers, usually in a single day.
How much is a new fuse board (consumer unit)?
Fuse board upgrades start from £700 + VAT (£840 inc VAT), fitted in a day. You get a modern 18th-edition consumer unit with full RCBO protection, tested, certified and notified to building control.
Do landlords in Wales need an EICR?
Yes. Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, rented homes in Wales must have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report, renewed at least every five years. Aled charges £200 + VAT, tests every circuit, photographs the work and gets the report back fast.
Do you cover my town?
Renovolt is based in Pencoed and covers Bridgend, Pencoed, Porthcawl, Maesteg, Pyle, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Barry, the wider Vale of Glamorgan and Port Talbot. If you are on the edge of that patch, send your postcode by text or WhatsApp and Aled will tell you straight away whether he can take the job.
Is Renovolt NAPIT registered and insured?
Yes. Renovolt Electrical Ltd is NAPIT registered and carries public liability insurance. Every job is certified to the current wiring regulations (BS 7671, 18th edition).
How quickly can you fit me in?
You get a same-day callback Monday to Saturday and a written quote within 24 hours. Most single-day jobs, like EV chargers and fuse boards, are booked in within days, and urgent faults are prioritised.
Do you take on commercial and industrial work?
Yes. Three-phase supplies, panel boards, workshop fit-outs and low-bay lighting across Bridgend and the surrounding area, backed by 12 years of commercial experience. Aled visits the site, scopes the job properly and quotes in writing.
Who turns up to do the work?
Aled Bargery. The same person who quotes the job does the work and signs the certificate. No call centres, no subcontractors you have never met, no surprises on the bill.
How much does an electrician cost in Bridgend?
Aled prices by the job, not by the hour, so you know the total before he starts. The common jobs have set prices: an EICR is £200 + VAT (£240 inc VAT), a new fuse board starts from £700 + VAT (£840 inc VAT) and a home EV charger from £900 + VAT (£1,080 inc VAT). Everything else is quoted in writing, with no obligation, before any work is booked.
How do quotes work?
Tell Aled what you need by phone, text, WhatsApp or email. A couple of photos, of the fuse board or the area you want work doing, usually let him price smaller jobs without a visit. Bigger jobs like rewires get a survey first. Either way you get the price in writing before anything is booked, and the person who quotes is the person who does the work.
What certificate will I get when the work is finished?
It depends on the job. New circuits, fuse boards, EV chargers and rewires get an Electrical Installation Certificate. Smaller additions to an existing circuit get a Minor Works Certificate, and an inspection gets an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Where the work is notifiable, Aled registers it with building control through NAPIT, so you also receive a building regulations compliance certificate.
What does NAPIT registered mean?
It means Renovolt is assessed by NAPIT, a government-approved competent person scheme, and can self-certify notifiable electrical work instead of you paying building control to inspect it. You can check any electrician on the Electrical Competent Person Register before you hire them. Renovolt Electrical Ltd is NAPIT registered and fully insured.
What is the best way to find a good electrician?
Check three things. First, that they are on the Electrical Competent Person Register, so they can certify their work. Second, recent Google reviews from real local customers; Renovolt is rated 5.0 from 45 Google reviews. Third, that you get a written price and know who will actually turn up. With Renovolt that is always Aled.
Can a handyman do electrical work?
Only very minor work. Anything notifiable, such as a new circuit, a fuse board change or an EV charger, has to be done by a registered electrician or inspected and signed off by building control. A handyman cannot certify it, and uncertified work can cause problems with your home insurance and when you come to sell the house.
How do I get in touch with Renovolt?
