Call for PontypriddGet a quote

Most ex-council semi properties across Pontypridd were council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s; consistent standards within an estate but often overdue for a CU upgrade. That single fact drives the full property rewires 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.

Construction & access

External meter cabinet on the front elevation on most estates — tidy cable route into the hallway, easy CU swap.

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

Materials and methods we spec on ex-council semi work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU; SPD as standard; outbuilding sub-main with dedicated RCD. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

What we build into every quote

  • Cable routing planned around cavity brick, concrete-frame lintels; some steel-framed variants require careful drilling around lintels and cills — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
  • Common ex-council semi findings we flag before quoting: council-era MK plastic split-load CU still installed — reliable but no SPD, no per-circuit RCBOs.
  • Access constraints priced into the diary — a ex-council semi in Pontypridd isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
  • Wiring generation on record (council-era rewiring 1980s–2000s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
