Garage Electrics for Swansea homes
59% of homes in Swansea are detached or semi-detached, so plenty have gardens, drives, garages and space for an outbuilding. Outdoor electrics have to cope with Welsh weather, so we use the right cable, buried or fixed properly, weatherproof fittings and RCD protection.
Housing figures: ONS Census 2021.
Many garages have one dim light and a single socket, or are still powered from the house by an extension lead. That makes them hard to use for anything beyond storage. Whether you want a workshop, a home gym, a utility area or simply somewhere bright to keep the car, the electrics are usually the first thing to sort.
Jorge looks at how the garage connects to the house, what you want to run and how much power that needs. Detached garages normally need an armoured supply cable and their own small consumer unit, while attached garages can often run from an extended circuit.
Signs you need it
- Your garage has poor lighting or just one bare bulb
- You need more sockets for tools, a freezer or gym equipment
- A detached garage is powered by an extension lead
- You are converting the garage into a workshop or utility room
- You want to add an EV charger at the garage
- Old garage wiring is damaged, surface run or not protected
What's included
Bright LED lighting
We fit LED batten lights or other durable fittings that give even, bright light across the whole garage, with switches by the door so you are not fumbling in the dark.
Sockets and workshop power
We add sockets at bench height for tools, chargers and freezers, using metal-clad accessories where they may be knocked, with dedicated circuits for heavy equipment.
Supplies to detached garages
For detached garages we run armoured cable from the house to a small consumer unit inside, giving the garage its own protected circuits for lights and power.
Testing and certification
We test all new circuits and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate under BS 7671, depending on the work.

Questions about garage electrics in Swansea
Do you do garage electrics in Swansea?
Yes. Jorge carries out garage electrics across Swansea, including Uplands, Brynmill, Sketty, Mumbles, Killay and Townhill. We are based in Cardiff, about 34 miles from Swansea. Call 029 2000 1399 or send the form for a free, no-obligation quote.
Does a detached garage need its own consumer unit?
Usually, yes. A small consumer unit in the garage gives separate protection for lights and sockets and lets you isolate it without affecting the house. The supply cable from the house is sized for everything you plan to run, including heavy tools or an EV charger.
What affects the cost of garage electrics?
The distance from the house, whether the garage is attached or detached, the ground between them, how many lights and sockets you want, the power needs of any equipment and whether your house consumer unit has space for a new circuit. Converting a garage into a habitable room adds more work.
Can you power heavy tools or a welder?
Many workshop tools run from standard sockets, but larger machines, welders and compressors may need a dedicated circuit and, in some cases, a different type of outlet. Tell us what you plan to use so we can size the supply properly.
Can an EV charger be fitted at my garage?
Yes, and it often makes sense to plan it alongside any garage rewiring. The supply cable and consumer unit can be sized for the charger from the start, and earthing for EV charging is assessed at the same time. See our EV charger page for more on what is involved.

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.
