Why the property type matters

Full Property Rewires on a stone cottage is shaped by solid stone with lime mortar, thick internal walls, timber ceilings. The scope is standard once the physical routing is planned around that construction.

Full Property Rewires on a stone cottage in Bridgend is a physical problem before it is an electrical one. The stock is pre-1900, walls are solid stone with lime mortar, thick internal walls, timber ceilings, and the practical constraint is that solid-stone walls mean cable chasing is off the table — routing goes through skirting, floors and lofts.

That shapes every line on the quote. We survey the outhouse or pantry, the cable route and the consumer unit location before pricing — because on this property type the standard scope is only standard once you know what you're working around.

Bridgend context

Stone Cottage properties are a distinctive part of the Bridgend housing mix — post-war semis in Brackla and Wildmill, Victorian stock around Nolton and Newcastle, and modern estates in Broadlands and Parc Derwen. We work on this stock weekly.

What we build into every quote

Common stone cottage findings we flag before quoting: TT earthing with an aged earth rod — measured Ra values often above the safe threshold.
Access constraints priced into the diary — a stone cottage in Bridgend 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.
Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to pre-1900 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.
