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 Aberdare and need full property rewires, 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.
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — loft-run cabling makes rewires and cu upgrades genuinely easy — a bungalow is often the cheapest full house to rewire.
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

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 CF44 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.
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.
Usually 5–7 working days for a three-bed bungalow. Loft-run cabling makes the whole job faster than a two-storey house.
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. ex-mining cottages in Trecynon and Cwmbach with original 1950s wiring, alongside 1980s semis in Aberaman — the bungalow is a recognisable slice of that mix.
