Full Property Rewires on a stone cottage in Neath 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.
