Electrician in Newport: Cardiff Electrician is Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured electrician working from Cardiff since 2014. We cover Newport for rewires, consumer unit replacements, landlord smoke alarms, fault finding and EV chargers.
Newport is just along the M4 from our Cardiff base, so it is an easy city for us to cover. Its housing ranges from Victorian streets near the centre to post-war estates and newer developments on the edges, and the electrical work varies to match.
Areas such as Maindee, Stow Hill and St Julians have plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Many have older wiring, limited sockets and dated fuse boxes, so full rewires, consumer unit upgrades and fault finding are common jobs. A good share of these 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 tackle condensation and PAT testing for furnished lets.
On the post-war estates such as Bettws and Duffryn, and in newer homes around Rogerstone, owners tend to ask for electric showers, extra sockets, EV chargers and outdoor lighting. Caerleon's older properties often need sensitive rewiring and lighting work. Quotes are always free, and the work is carried out to BS 7671.

Electrician in Newport: FAQs
Do you work in Newport or only in Cardiff?
We cover Newport regularly. It is a short drive along the M4 from our Cardiff base, and we work across the city, including Maindee, Stow Hill, Malpas, Bettws, Rogerstone and Caerleon. Call 029 2000 1399 for a free quote, and we aim to offer same-week appointments where possible.
I rent out a terrace in Maindee. What do I need electrically?
In Wales, rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords across Newport. Older terraces also benefit from a modern consumer unit, extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms to help with condensation, and PAT testing if the let is furnished.
How do I know if my Newport home needs a rewire?
Warning signs include old rubber or fabric-covered cables, a fuse box with rewireable fuses, scorch marks on sockets, frequent tripping and too few sockets. Many older Newport terraces show some of these. We can inspect your wiring and give honest advice and a free quote.

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.
