Call for CaerphillyGet a quote

Most ex-council semi properties across Caerphilly were council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s; consistent standards within an estate but often overdue for a CU upgrade. That single fact drives the emergency callouts conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s; consistent standards within an estate but often overdue for a CU upgrade. On a ex-council semi you should expect us to flag: council-era MK plastic split-load CU still installed — reliable but no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs; external meter cabinet with the tails routing through an exterior wall — sometimes on an older tails spec; shed or outbuilding sub-main added without a dedicated RCD.

Materials we spec

What we build into every quote

  • Materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU, plus SPD as standard.

  • Access constraints priced into the diary — a ex-council semi in Caerphilly isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
