Electrician in Cardiff: Cardiff Electrician is run by Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured electrician who has been based in Cardiff since 2014. We handle domestic and commercial work across the city, from full rewires and consumer unit upgrades to EV chargers, fault finding and smoke alarms.
Cardiff is our home patch. Jorge is based in Canton, CF5, and has been working on homes and businesses across the city since 2014, and we know how much the housing changes from one district to the next. That matters, because the age and type of a property usually decides what electrical work it needs.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Roath, Cathays, Splott and Canton often still have older wiring, too few sockets and fuse boxes that have never been upgraded, so rewires and consumer unit replacements are common jobs. Cathays and Roath also have a lot of shared and student lets, where Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and landlords often ask us for extractor fans to tackle condensation, extra sockets and PAT testing for furnished rooms. Further north, the 1930s semis of Whitchurch, Rhiwbina and Llanishen tend to want kitchen and bathroom upgrades, garden electrics and EV chargers on the drive, while the apartments around Cardiff Bay and newer homes in Pontprennau bring requests for extra sockets, lighting and media walls.
Whatever the job, the work is carried out to BS 7671 and quotes are free with no obligation. We aim to offer a fast response and same-week appointments where possible.

Electrician in Cardiff: FAQs
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
Yes. We are based in Cardiff and cover the whole city, from Roath, Cathays and Splott to Whitchurch, Llanishen, Ely, Fairwater, Pontprennau and Cardiff Bay. Call 029 2000 1399 or use the booking page, and we aim to offer same-week appointments where possible.
My Cardiff terrace still has an old fuse box. Should I replace it?
Many older terraces in Cardiff still have rewireable fuses or early consumer units with no RCD protection. Replacing it with a modern consumer unit makes the installation safer and is often the first step before a kitchen, bathroom or EV charger job. We will check it and give you a free quote.
I let a house in Cathays. What can you help with?
Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords across Cathays and Roath. We also upgrade old consumer units, fit extractor fans to help with damp and condensation, add sockets, PAT test appliances in furnished lets and track down 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.
