Electrician in Barry: Cardiff Electrician is Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured electrician based in Cardiff since 2014. In Barry we carry out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV chargers, outdoor lighting and smoke alarms for homes and businesses.
Barry is a short drive from our Cardiff base, and we work right across the town, from Barry Island and Cadoxton to Colcot, Gibbonsdown and the Waterfront.
Barry grew quickly when its docks opened, and many of the streets from that period are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces. These homes often still have older wiring and fuse boxes, so rewires, consumer unit upgrades and fault finding are common requests. Plenty of Barry homes are rented, and Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey. We fit these for landlords, along with extractor fans to help with damp and condensation.
The post-war and later estates around the town are popular with families, who tend to ask for electric showers, extra sockets, garden electrics and EV chargers. In the newer homes at Barry Waterfront, the work is usually about adding to what is already there: outdoor lighting, smart doorbells and security cameras, and media wall wiring. Being close to the coast, outdoor fittings need to be suitable for the weather, and we install them to BS 7671.

Electrician in Barry: FAQs
Do you cover all of Barry?
Yes. Barry is a short drive from our Cardiff base and we cover the whole town, including Barry Island, Cadoxton, Gibbonsdown, Colcot and Barry Waterfront, plus nearby Rhoose and Sully. Call 029 2000 1399 and we aim to offer same-week appointments where possible.
Can you fit outdoor lighting at a home near the coast?
Yes. Homes near the sea are more exposed to wind and salty air, so we choose outdoor lights and sockets with suitable weather ratings and install them with the right protection, to BS 7671. That way they stay safe and reliable through the seasons.
I have a rental property in Barry. Can you help?
Yes. Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords across Barry. We also upgrade older consumer units, fit extractor fans to help with condensation, add sockets, carry out PAT testing for furnished lets and find and fix faults.

I had a number of small electrical jobs for Jorge to do. He completed everything quickly, professionally and to a high standard. Jorge was very polite and helpful and clearly takes pride in his work. I would 100% call him if I need more electrical work doing.
I have been a private landlord 25 years and can count the reviews I've left on one hand. I've known Jorge several years. He is a trusted professional, timely and charges competitive rates.
We initially asked Jorge to help us after being let down by another electrician, and he was only too happy to help make some bad work safe... Jorge always explains what is going on and helps us understand more about how electrics work. He is thorough, leaves no mess behind and very reliable.
