cavity brick, generous single-storey plan, easy loft access. Loft-run cabling makes rewires and CU upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.
If you own a bungalow in Caerphilly and need consumer unit upgrades, the right spec is usually not the most expensive one. On this stock the sensible answer is metal-clad 18th Edition CU — matched to the wiring generation, not a lift-and-shift from a new-build brochure.
That is the standard we quote to. Fixed price, honest survey, SPD retrofit, and paperwork the next EICR won't question.
Focus on the hall cupboard, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
Priced against your bungalow's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
