Electrician in Canton

Canton is one of Cardiff's most densely populated residential areas, and a lot of its housing stock dates from the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The terraced properties along Severn Road, Pontcanna Street, Kings Road and the streets off Canton Cross were built between the 1880s and 1910s. The electrical wiring in many of them has been added and modified over the decades, sometimes more than once, and frequently without any record of what was done or when.

Electrical work in Canton's Victorian terraces

The most common jobs we do in Canton are full and partial rewires, consumer unit replacements and EICR testing. Many properties still have wiring from the 1960s and 70s, or older. Some have had piecemeal additions over the years that leave the installation in a mixed state. An EICR tells you what's there and what needs doing. We carry them out at competitive prices and turn the report around the same day where possible.

Canton is popular with buyers. We do a lot of pre-purchase surveys here, often arranged when a surveyor has flagged the electrics as a concern. A full EICR before exchange gives you the full picture. If remedial work is needed, we can quote for that too so you know what you're taking on.

For landlords in Canton, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 requires an EICR every 5 years for all rental properties. We carry out EICRs and provide the report electronically so you can issue it to tenants promptly.
