Electrician in Canton: Cardiff Electrician is Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured local electrician based in Cardiff since 2014. In Canton we rewire Victorian terraces, replace old fuse boxes, fit landlord smoke alarms and upgrade kitchens and bathrooms.
Canton is one of Cardiff's best-known Victorian neighbourhoods, and it is where we are based, in CF5. Street after street of terraced houses runs off Cowbridge Road East, from the edges of Pontcanna down towards Victoria Park and Leckwith.
Most of these homes are well over a century old. Many have been rewired at some point, but often decades ago, and it is still common to find old fuse boxes, tired cables and not enough sockets for modern life. That is why full rewires, consumer unit replacements and fault finding are the jobs we do most in Canton. Kitchens and bathrooms in these terraces are often small rear extensions, so new kitchen circuits, extractor fans and bathroom electrics installed to BS 7671 zone rules are common too.
Canton also has many rented houses and flats. Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords, along with extractor fans to tackle condensation in small kitchens and bathrooms. We also work for local shops and businesses along Cowbridge Road East.

Electrician in Canton: FAQs
How disruptive is rewiring a Canton terrace?
A rewire does mean lifting some floorboards and chasing walls, but we plan it room by room to keep disruption down and leave the house safe at the end of each day. Many Canton terraces have similar layouts, so we can explain clearly what to expect before work begins.
I let a flat in Canton. What can you do for landlords?
Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords across Canton. We also upgrade old consumer units, fit extractor fans to help with condensation, add sockets and carry out PAT testing for furnished lets. Call 029 2000 1399 for a free quote.
Can you add more sockets without a full rewire?
Often, yes. If your existing wiring and consumer unit are in good condition, we can add extra sockets and USB sockets to current circuits or run new ones. If we find the wiring is too old to extend safely, we will tell you honestly and explain your options.

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.
