Call for Cardiff Get a quote

Most barn conversion properties across Cardiff were conversion-era rewiring; often a mix of surface-fixed and recessed with visible cable runs on original timbers. That single fact drives the kitchen & bathroom upgrades 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 to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Focus on the utility or plant room, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your barn conversion's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — vaulted ceilings, mezzanines, and exposed trusses.
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

Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
Materials matched to the stock: steel conduit for exposed runs, plus new earth rod.
Cable routing planned around stone or brick original, exposed timber trusses, mezzanine and vaulted-ceiling zones — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Common barn conversion findings we flag before quoting: cable runs across exposed trusses without proper containment.

Construction & access

Vaulted ceilings, mezzanines, and exposed trusses. Standard chasing doesn't work; steel conduit and stainless clips are the norm.

Wiring generation on this stock is typically conversion-era rewiring; often a mix of surface-fixed and recessed with visible cable runs on original timbers. On a barn conversion you should expect us to flag: cable runs across exposed trusses without proper containment; TT earthing with a rural DNO supply; vaulted ceilings making downlight replacement awkward.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on barn conversion work: steel conduit for exposed runs; new earth rod; SPD as standard; IP-rated fittings for barn-door and porch zones. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

Cardiff context

Across CF10–CF24 the barn conversion stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: cable runs across exposed trusses without proper containment. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.

Not unless the quote says so. On period stock in particular we route through floors, lofts and non-original plaster; cornices, dado rails and original panelling stay intact.
