Call for Aberdare Get a quote

Consumer Unit Upgrades on a bungalow in Aberdare is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is typically 1950s–1980s, walls are cavity brick, generous single-storey plan, easy loft access, and the practical constraint is that loft-run cabling makes rewires and cu upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the hall cupboard, the cable route and the consumer unit location before pricing — because on this property type the standard scope is only standard once you know what you're working around.

What we build into every quote

Cable routing planned around cavity brick, generous single-storey plan, easy loft access — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Common bungalow findings we flag before quoting: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a bungalow in Aberdare isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1980s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
