Call for CardiffGet a quote

Most Victorian terrace properties across Cardiff were rewired 1970s–1990s, often part-upgraded — a mix of PVC/PVC and older rubber-insulated conductors is common. 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

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Focus on the under-stairs cupboard, 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 Victorian terrace'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 — tight cellar entries, no side-return access, and party walls that can't take a chase.

  4. 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

  • Common Victorian terrace findings we flag before quoting: shared party wall with a neighbour, meaning EV/CU cabling has to route through the front elevation or under floorboards, not chase across a shared wall.
  • Access constraints priced into the diary — a Victorian terrace in Cardiff isn't the same working day as a new-build with an empty garage.
  • Wiring generation on record (rewired 1970s–1990s, often part-upgraded — a mix of PVC/PVC and older rubber-insulated conductors is common) so the quote reflects what's actually in the house, not what the brochure assumes.
  • Fixed price at quote stage, calibrated to c.1880–1901 construction — not a generic South Wales rate.

Construction & access

Tight cellar entries, no side-return access, and party walls that can't take a chase. Cable routing is planned around the front bay, the hallway and the ceiling voids — not the walls.

Wiring generation & likely findings

Wiring generation on this stock is typically rewired 1970s–1990s, often part-upgraded — a mix of PVC/PVC and older rubber-insulated conductors is common. On a Victorian terrace you should expect us to flag: shared party wall with a neighbour, meaning EV/CU cabling has to route through the front elevation or under floorboards, not chase across a shared wall; no rear access — every cable, board and EV cable enters through the front door or the small back yard; old CPC continuity failures on lighting circuits where junction boxes sit in inaccessible ceiling voids.

Materials we spec

Materials and methods we spec on victorian terrace work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD as standard for surge-sensitive kit; steel-conduit riser for the front-elevation EV feed. Everything is priced on the quote — nothing added on invoice.

Cardiff context

Across CF10–CF24 the Victorian terrace stock we've worked on shares consistent patterns: shared party wall with a neighbour, meaning EV/CU cabling has to route through the front elevation or under floorboards, not chase across a shared wall. That local pattern is baked into the quote, not discovered on the day.

What's specific about kitchen & bathroom upgrades on a Victorian terrace?+

Two things: shared party wall with a neighbour, meaning EV/CU cabling has to route through the front elevation or under floorboards, not chase across a shared wall, and the wiring generation — rewired 1970s–1990s, often part-upgraded — a mix of PVC/PVC and older rubber-insulated conductors is common. Both go on the quote, not the invoice.
