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 Swansea and need emergency callouts, 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.

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1980s–2010s; loft cabling is easy but often overdue for a CU upgrade. On a bungalow you should expect us to flag: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load; no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs; extension added over the years with a mixed-vintage sub-board.
Materials and methods we spec on bungalow work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU; SPD retrofit; outbuilding sub-board with a dedicated RCD. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
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.
