Electrician in Newport

Newport is about 12 miles from our base in Cardiff CF3, and we cover it regularly. The city has a varied housing stock: Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Pill and Maindee, interwar semis across much of the west side, post-war council estates, and newer private developments on the outer edges. The electrical installations across this range of properties vary considerably, but older properties in the inner areas are where we see the most overdue work.

Electrical work in Newport

Consumer unit upgrades are common across Newport's older terraces. Many properties in Pill, Maindee and the streets around the city centre still have fuse boards that are well past their useful life: no RCD protection, rewirable fuses, and often no record of when the wiring was last looked at. A modern consumer unit is a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference to safety.

Newport has a large private rental sector. Welsh landlords are required to carry out an EICR every 5 years under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. We cover Newport for landlord EICRs and can work to a schedule if you have multiple properties. Reports are issued electronically the same day where possible.

We also carry out rewires in Newport. Full rewires are typically needed on properties where the original wiring has never been replaced, which is not unusual in Victorian terraces that have changed hands multiple times. We can also carry out partial rewires to bring specific circuits up to standard without disturbing the rest of the installation.
