Call for Cardiff Get a quote

Most period flat properties across Cardiff were conversion-era 1990s–2010s; sub-main from the communal supply, individual metering. That single fact drives the kitchen & bathroom upgrades 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.

What to expect

01
Photo or on-site survey
Focus on the hallway, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your period flat's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.
03
Booked around access
Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — freeholder or managing-agent consent almost always required for cu work.
04
Certificate + evidence pack
NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

What we build into every quote

Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to conversion of pre-1940 building construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
Materials matched to the stock: metal-clad 18th Edition CU sized to the sub-main, plus SPD as standard.
Cable routing planned around solid or mixed masonry, partition walls timber-framed with plasterboard — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".

Construction & access

Freeholder or managing-agent consent almost always required for CU work. We handle the letter chain if needed.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically conversion-era 1990s–2010s; sub-main from the communal supply, individual metering. On a period flat you should expect us to flag: sub-main tails routed through communal areas — freeholder consent needed for CU work; communal lighting on a separate meter, not always tested with the flat's EICR; old landlord's supply feeding hallway heaters or emergency lighting.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on period flat conversion work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU sized to the sub-main; SPD as standard; communal-area emergency lighting where the freeholder brief includes it. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

Cardiff context

Across CF10–CF24 the period flat stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: sub-main tails routed through communal areas — freeholder consent needed for CU work. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.

FAQs — period flat conversion in Cardiff

What's specific about kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a period flat?+

Two things: sub-main tails routed through communal areas — freeholder consent needed for CU work, and the wiring generation — conversion-era 1990s–2010s. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.

Will the work affect any original features?+

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.

How common is a period flat in Cardiff?+

Common enough that we work on this stock most weeks. a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cathays and Roath, 1930s semis around Whitchurch, and modern estates in Pontprennau and Pentwyn — the period flat is a recognisable slice of that mix.

How do you handle cable routing on a period flat?+

Freeholder or managing-agent consent almost always required for CU work. We handle the letter chain if needed. We mark the route at survey and price against it.
