Local guide
Electrical advice for Caerphilly homeowners and landlords
EV charging and modern homes in Caerphilly
Newer developments around Caerphilly often have driveways that suit a home EV charger, while older homes may need a consumer unit check first. Home offices, kitchen upgrades and garden lighting also add load to installations that were never designed for them. A free site visit looks at the whole picture, so you can plan the work in the right order and avoid paying for changes twice. Every installation is tested, certified and backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, and you deal with Thomas directly from the first call to the final sign-off. For businesses in and around the town, commercial work is planned around trading hours to keep disruption to a minimum, and larger projects can be supported by trusted subcontractors.
Upgrading post-war homes
Caerphilly's post-war estates have many homes that still have early consumer units or wiring that has been extended over the years. A consumer unit upgrade brings modern RCD protection, and testing every circuit beforehand means any hidden faults are found and explained. For homes planning a new kitchen or extension, it's worth checking capacity before work starts.
Terraces in Bedwas, Trethomas and Llanbradach
Older terraced homes in the communities around Caerphilly often have compact layouts, limited space for consumer units and wiring of mixed ages. Damp is also common, which can cause earth leakage and RCD tripping. Fault finding traces the cause, and an EICR gives a full picture of the installation's condition.
Landlords in Caerphilly
For landlords, regular EICRs, working smoke and heat alarms and prompt remedial work help keep tenants safe and paperwork in order. Inspections can be arranged with tenants, and any work carried out is confirmed in writing.
