Call for Pontypridd Get a quote

Two things dominate emergency callouts on a post-war semi in Pontypridd: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout, and bathroom shower feed on a 6mm radial with an isolator hidden above the ceiling. Both are known variables on this stock, and both belong on the quote — not the invoice.

We work across CF37–CF38 weekly and see the same patterns street after street. That means the quote reflects real experience of this property type, not a template price.

Construction & access

Good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the CU generation.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1990s–2010s; kitchen and bathroom often updated separately with mixed board vintages. On a post-war semi you should expect us to flag: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout; bathroom shower feed on a 6mm radial with an isolator hidden above the ceiling; outside tap or outside socket added on a spur without RCD protection.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on post-war semi work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD retrofit; shower feed uprated to 10mm where the run length demands it. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.
