Full Rewires in Caerphilly: A full rewire replaces a property's cables, sockets, switches and usually the consumer unit, bringing the installation up to the current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. Cardiff Electrician, run by Jorge Simoes, plans and carries out rewires for homes and businesses across Cardiff and issues an Electrical Installation Certificate when the work is finished.
Full Rewires for Caerphilly homes
The most common type of home in Caerphilly is semi-detached houses (44% of households, Census 2021). Whatever the age of your Caerphilly home, the signs are the same: a fuse box without RCD protection, trips you cannot explain, scorch marks or warm sockets, and wiring that has been added to over the years.
Housing figures: ONS Census 2021.
Plenty of homes in Cardiff still run on wiring that is decades old. Rubber or fabric covered cable, a fuse box with rewireable fuses and too few sockets are all signs the system has reached the end of its working life. A rewire fixes that in one go, rather than patching problems as they appear.
Jorge plans every rewire room by room with you before a single floorboard comes up. We agree where sockets, switches and lights go, how we will work around you if you are living in, and what needs doing afterwards, such as plastering and decorating.
Signs you need it
- Your fuse box still has rewireable fuses or a wooden back
- Sockets or switches are old, cracked or the round-pin type
- You can see black rubber or fabric covered cable
- Lights flicker or fuses blow without an obvious cause
- You rely on extension leads because there are too few sockets
What's included
New cabling throughout
We replace the power, lighting and dedicated appliance circuits with modern cable, routed and protected in line with BS 7671, so the system is safe today and easy to extend later.
A modern consumer unit
Most rewires include a new consumer unit with RCD protection, so a fault on any circuit disconnects quickly, cutting the risk of electric shock or fire.
Sockets where you need them
We fit new switches and sockets and add extra outlets in kitchens, bedrooms and home offices, planned around how you actually use each room so the extension leads can go.
Smoke alarms and full testing
We can fit mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms while the walls are open, then test every circuit before handing over an Electrical Installation Certificate for your records.

Questions about full rewires in Caerphilly
Do you do full rewires in Caerphilly?

How much does a full rewire cost?
It depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits and sockets you want, whether it is furnished or empty and how easy access is under floors and in the loft. Quotes are free and itemised, and our reviews say our pricing is very reasonable.
How long does a rewire take?
It depends on the size and layout of the property. A small flat is quicker than a three-storey terrace, and an empty house is quicker than one you are living in. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote and keep you updated if anything changes.
Can I stay in the house during a rewire?
Many people do, but expect dust, lifted floorboards and periods without power. We work room by room where we can, aim to restore key circuits at the end of each day. If you can empty rooms or stay elsewhere for part of the job, it moves faster.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Once every circuit is tested you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate under BS 7671. A rewire is also notifiable under Building Regulations, and we explain at quote stage how that is handled. Keep the certificate safe, as buyers and insurers often ask for it.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google
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.
