Local Knowledge & Experience
Rewiring Cardiff's Homes — We Know the City's Housing Stock
Cardiff has one of the highest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in Wales — and we've rewired hundreds of them. Properties on streets like Inverness Place and Claude Road in Roath, Romilly Road in Canton, Woodville Road in Cathays and Cathedral Road in Pontcanna frequently have rubber-insulated or fabric-covered wiring that is decades past its safe working life. Rewiring these properties requires skill and care — narrow floor voids, lath-and-plaster walls and limited roof space all need careful cable routing to avoid unnecessary damage to the fabric of the building.
Cathays and Grangetown have some of the highest concentrations of HMOs and rental properties in Cardiff. Landlords in these areas frequently need rewires to satisfy EICR inspectors, meet Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2022 compliance requirements and satisfy letting agents before a new tenancy begins. We understand the pressure of void periods and work efficiently to complete HMO rewires as quickly as possible without compromising on quality or safety.
Period properties in Llandaff, Penarth and Pontcanna often benefit from sympathetic rewiring that brings the electrical system fully up to current standards without damaging original features. We take time at the survey stage to plan cable routes carefully, discuss the making-good requirements honestly and ensure the completed rewire complements rather than compromises the character of the property.
Newer properties in Cardiff Bay, Pontprennau and St Mellons may need consumer unit upgrades or additional circuits for EV chargers, home offices, extensions or garden rooms. Modern consumer units with RCBO protection on every circuit provide a much higher level of safety and flexibility than the older split-load boards common in 1990s and 2000s builds. We carry out consumer unit upgrades across Cardiff with minimal disruption — most are completed in a single day.
Whatever the age, type or condition of your Cardiff property — call 029 2294 7903 or WhatsApp a photo of your fuse board to 07340 288647. We'll advise you honestly on what's needed and provide a free written quote after surveying the property.
Warning Signs
Signs Your Cardiff Home May Need Rewiring
Cardiff's older housing stock — particularly Victorian and Edwardian properties built before 1960 — often has electrical systems that are long overdue for a full rewire. Many Cardiff homeowners and landlords don't know their wiring is dangerously outdated until an EICR inspection reveals C1 or C2 faults. Here are the most common warning signs to look out for:
- Property is over 25–30 years old with no rewire on record — especially common in Roath, Canton and Cathays
- Wiring is rubber-coated, fabric-covered or aluminium — typical in Cardiff properties built before 1970
- Old-style fuse board with ceramic fuse wire rather than modern RCDs or RCBOs
- Frequently tripping circuit breakers that won't reset, or circuits that trip for no obvious reason
- Persistent flickering lights across multiple rooms in the property
- Burning smell or scorch marks around sockets, switches or the consumer unit
- Sockets or switches that feel warm, buzz or vibrate to the touch
- EICR inspection has returned C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations
- Planning a kitchen, bathroom, extension, loft conversion or major renovation
- Property has been flagged by an insurer, letting agent or solicitor as requiring electrical inspection
If your Cardiff property shows any of these signs, call 029 2294 7903 or WhatsApp a photo of your consumer unit to 07340 288647. We'll give you an honest assessment and a free written quote after surveying the property. We never recommend more work than is genuinely needed.
Common Questions
House Rewiring Cardiff — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Cardiff homeowners and landlords ask us before booking a rewire — answered honestly. If your question isn't here, call 029 2294 7903 or WhatsApp 07340 288647.
How long does a full house rewire take in Cardiff?
For a typical 3-bed Cardiff terrace or semi, a full rewire takes 3–5 working days. A 2-bed flat can often be completed in 2–3 days. Larger properties, homes with complex layouts, or those requiring significant cable routing through solid walls may take up to 7–10 days. We work room by room where possible to minimise disruption, and ensure you have working power at the end of each day. We’ll give you a realistic and honest timeline when we survey the property — not a figure designed to win the job.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
Not necessarily. For most occupied Cardiff properties we work progressively through the house, room by room, ensuring you have access to power, heating and essential facilities each evening. For smaller properties or those being fully renovated at the same time, it can be more practical and less stressful to vacate for the duration — we’ll advise honestly on this when we survey your property so you can plan ahead. We never ask you to vacate unnecessarily.
How much does a house rewire cost in Cardiff?
Rewire costs in Cardiff vary depending on the size of the property, number of rooms and circuits, condition of the existing wiring and whether a consumer unit upgrade is included. As a guide: a 2-bed Cardiff flat or terrace typically starts from £2,500; a 3-bed terrace from £3,500; a 4-bed property from £4,500 upwards. Partial rewires and consumer unit upgrades start from around £1,000. These are starting figures — every property is different and we always survey before quoting. We provide a clear, itemised written quote after the free survey with no hidden costs and a fixed price, not an estimate.
What certificate do I get after a rewire?
You’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) — the required document confirming the rewire was carried out to BS7671 18th Edition standards by a NICEIC-approved contractor. The EIC is essential if you plan to sell the property, let it to tenants, remortgage or insure it. Your solicitor, estate agent, letting agent and insurer may all ask for it. Keep the original certificate somewhere safe — we recommend also notifying your local authority building control, which we can advise on.
Do you rewire HMOs and rental properties in Cardiff?
Yes — HMO and landlord rewires are a significant part of our Cardiff work. We carry out full and partial rewires for HMOs, student lets, terraced rental properties and landlord portfolios across Cardiff. Our NICEIC-certified rewires meet the requirements of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2022 and come with the Electrical Installation Certificate your EICR inspector and letting agent will need. We understand the pressure of void periods and work efficiently. Portfolio landlords with multiple properties are welcome to discuss scheduled inspection and rewire programmes.
Will I need to redecorate after a rewire?
Yes, some making good will be required where cables have been chased into walls and ceilings. The extent of this depends on the property type — solid-wall Victorian terraces typically require more making good than cavity-wall properties, as cables often need to be chased directly into plaster. Our team leaves all chases neat, filled flush and ready for plastering or painting. We are clear about the making-good requirements before we start so there are no surprises, and we never leave the property with open channels or rough edges.
