Electrician in Rhondda Valley: Cardiff Electrician is Jorge Simoes, a qualified and insured electrician based in Cardiff since 2014. We cover the Rhondda Valley for terrace rewires, consumer unit replacements, electric showers, electric heaters and fault finding.
The Rhondda is made up of two valleys, the Rhondda Fawr and the Rhondda Fach, and we cover both from our Cardiff base, heading up through Pontypridd and Porth. From Treherbert and Treorchy to Ferndale and Maerdy, the long rows of terraced houses are famous, and they shape almost every electrical job we do here.
Most of these terraces were built for families working in the coal mines. Many have been rewired in stages over the years, and some still have very old wiring, a fuse box with no RCD protection and only a handful of sockets. Full rewires, consumer unit replacements and fault finding are the jobs we are asked for most. The valley climate can be damp, and older homes are prone to it, which is another reason to have tired wiring checked.
Electric showers are a popular upgrade, and we also wire electric heaters and radiators on safe, dedicated circuits. Welsh rented homes need mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, and we fit these for landlords, along with extractor fans to help with damp and condensation. All work is carried out to BS 7671, with free quotes.

Electrician in Rhondda Valley: FAQs
Do you cover the whole Rhondda?
Yes. We cover both the Rhondda Fawr and the Rhondda Fach from our Cardiff base, including Porth, Tonypandy, Ystrad, Treorchy, Treherbert, Tylorstown, Ferndale and Maerdy. Call 029 2000 1399 for a free quote, and we will plan a visit that suits you.
How do I know if my Rhondda terrace needs a rewire?
Common signs include an old fuse box with rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-covered cables, scorch marks on sockets, lights that flicker and frequent tripping. Many older terraces in the valley have at least one of these. We can inspect your wiring and give honest advice.
Can damp affect my electrics?
Yes. Damp can damage older cables and accessories and lead to tripping or faults, which is common in older valley homes. If you have damp problems and old wiring, it is worth having the installation checked. We can find the fault and advise on repairs or a rewire.

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.
