Consumer Unit Upgrades on a bungalow in Bridgend 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.
