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.
The awkward part of emergency callouts on a Ystrad Mynach bungalow isn't the install — it's the route. Loft-run cabling makes rewires and CU upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.
We map the route at survey, mark it up on a photo, and price against that specific plan. Nothing gets discovered mid-job that could have been priced at quote stage.
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.

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.
Across CF82 the bungalow stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.
metal-clad 18th Edition CU; SPD retrofit; outbuilding sub-board with a dedicated RCD. All on the written quote.
Two things: old CU in a hallway cupboard, still plastic split-load, and the wiring generation — rewired 1980s–2010s. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.
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.
Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. 1970s estates in Hengoed, traditional terraces in Nelson, and rural smallholdings towards Penpedairheol — the bungalow is a recognisable slice of that mix.
