Electrician in Grangetown: Cardiff Electrician is Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured local electrician based in Cardiff since 2014. In Grangetown we rewire Victorian terraces, replace old fuse boxes, fit smoke alarms and electric showers, and find and fix faults.
Grangetown sits between the city centre, the River Taff and Cardiff Bay, and it is a short trip from our Cardiff base. Its grid of Victorian terraces makes it one of the most distinctive parts of the city, and those houses drive most of the electrical work we do here.
Many Grangetown terraces still have wiring that has been added to over the years, older fuse boxes and too few sockets. Full rewires, consumer unit replacements and fault finding are common jobs, and so is replacing or adding electric showers in bathrooms at the back of the house. We also help with lighting upgrades and extra sockets when rooms are being modernised.
A large share of homes in Grangetown are rented, from family houses to 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 and PAT testing for furnished lets. Towards the Bay and the International Sports Village, newer apartments tend to need lighting changes and extra sockets. All work is carried out to BS 7671.

Electrician in Grangetown: FAQs
Do Grangetown terraces usually need a rewire?
Not always, but many have wiring that is decades old or has been extended piecemeal. Warning signs include an old fuse box, scorch marks, flickering lights and frequent tripping. We can inspect the installation and tell you honestly whether you need a full rewire or a smaller repair.
Can you replace my electric shower?
Yes. We replace and install electric showers, checking that the cable and circuit are rated correctly for the new unit, as a more powerful shower often needs an upgraded supply. All bathroom work follows BS 7671 zone rules. Call 029 2000 1399 for a free quote.
Do you work for landlords in Grangetown?
Yes. Many of our Grangetown customers are landlords. We fit mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, as Welsh rented homes require, replace older consumer units, add extractor fans to help with damp and condensation, 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.
