Terraces, students and the Renting Homes rules
Cathays and Roath are home to thousands of students, and the city's rented sector is large. Under the Renting Homes (Wales) rules, landlords must have an electrical condition report at least every five years and fit working mains-powered smoke alarms on each storey, so testing and alarm work are in constant demand.
Cardiff's terraces are compact, with the consumer unit usually under the stairs or in the front room. Rewires are common when houses are renovated, and many owners add outdoor sockets and lights for their small rear gardens at the same time.

Homes and wiring in Wales
Wales mixes terraced valley towns, coastal cities, market towns and a large rural area with many stone cottages and farm buildings. Older terraces are often due a rewire or a consumer unit upgrade, and rural properties can have long outbuilding and garden supplies. Private landlords in Wales need periodic electrical condition reports, which keeps testing and inspection work busy.
Domestic electrical work in Wales must meet Part P of the Building Regulations. Ask how each electrician will certify the work before you accept a quote. How to choose an electrician.
