Call for Pontypridd Get a quote

Most post-war semi properties across Pontypridd 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.

What to expect

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.
02
Written fixed quote
Priced against your post-war semi'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 — good loft access, generous under-floor voids and a straightforward driveway make the physical work easy; the variable is always the cu generation.
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

Cable routing planned around cavity brick with plasterboard finishes, concrete lintels — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
Common post-war semi findings we flag before quoting: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a post-war semi in Pontypridd isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
Wiring generation on record (rewired 1990s–2010s) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.

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.

Pontypridd context

Across CF37–CF38 the post-war semi stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: kitchen refit added post-rewire, socket circuit no longer matches the original ring layout. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.
