cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels. Good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the CU generation.

Call for CardiffGet a quote

Most post-war semi properties across Cardiff were rewired 1990s–2010s; kitchen and bathroom often updated separately with mixed board vintages. 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.

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.

What we build into every quote

  • Wiring generation on record (rewired 1990s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1945–1965 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 with RCBO per circuit, plus SPD retrofit.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Focus on the hallway or garage, the consumer unit location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your post-war semi's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

Cardiff context

From M4 J32–J33 the Cardiff area, post-war semi addresses cluster in specific streets — we know the layouts before we walk in, which shortens the survey and firms up the quote.

FAQs — post-war semi in Cardiff

What materials do you spec on this property type?+

metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD retrofit; shower feed uprated to 10mm where the run length demands it. All on the written quote.

What's specific about kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a post-war semi?+

Two things: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout, and the wiring generation — rewired 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 post-war semi 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 post-war semi is a recognisable slice of that mix.
