A qualified electrician serving Newport
Newport sits just south of our Cwmbran base, which puts it well within easy reach. Whether you're in a Victorian terrace near the city centre or a newer home on the edge of the city, you'll get the same qualified, owner-led service.
Areas such as Malpas, Bettws, Caerleon Road, Maindee, St Julians, Rogerstone, Bassaleg, Langstone and the Gaer are all part of our regular coverage, along with the city centre and commercial areas.
Newport is a busy city with a mix of owner-occupied homes, rented properties and businesses, and each comes with different electrical needs. Thomas gives the same honest advice whichever you are.
Homes and buildings in Newport
Newport has a wide range of property types: Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Maindee, Stow Hill and Baneswell; large inter-war and post-war estates; and newer developments built over recent decades. Older terraces often have long, narrow layouts with consumer units in tight spots near the front door, and many have been converted into flats over the years, which can leave a complicated mix of supplies and circuits.
Common electrical needs in Newport
- Landlord EICRs. Newport has a large private rented sector, and regular EICRs are essential for landlords.
- Rewires in older terraces. Victorian and Edwardian homes often need full or partial rewires during renovation.
- Consumer unit upgrades. Older boards are common in both terraced and post-war homes.
- Commercial work. Shops, offices and units across the city need reliable electrical work and inspection.

When you call about a job in Newport, you speak to Thomas Villars: a fully qualified, NAPIT-registered electrician with over 15 years' experience in the industry, who set up the business eight years ago. He quotes the work, carries it out, tests it and signs it off.
Thomas has worked on the same kinds of properties you'll find across Newport and the wider Newport area, from older homes with ageing wiring to newer houses that need extra circuits. For larger projects, trusted subcontractors are brought in, with Thomas staying your single point of contact.

Local issues
Common electrical problems in Newport properties
Converted flats
Houses split into flats can have shared or confusing supplies, which needs careful inspection and testing.
Ageing wiring in terraces
Many older properties have wiring that has been added to over decades without a full upgrade.
Damp and coastal weather
Damp in older buildings and exposed outdoor fittings can lead to earth leakage and RCD tripping.
Overloaded kitchens
Modern appliances in kitchens wired decades ago often lead to tripping and overheating.
Rental properties across the city
For Newport landlords, Thomas carries out EICRs and any remedial work identified, then confirms in writing once it's done, helping you keep on top of your obligations.
Between Cwmbran and Cardiff
Newport's position between our Cwmbran base and Cardiff puts the city well within reach, and nearby Caerleon, Langstone and Rogerstone are covered too.
Local guide
Electrical advice for Newport homeowners and landlords
Commercial premises in Newport
Shops, offices, cafés and industrial units across Newport depend on reliable electrics to keep trading. Thomas carries out inspection and testing, fault finding, consumer unit and distribution board work, and new circuits for commercial clients, planning jobs around opening hours wherever possible. When a larger commercial project needs extra hands, trusted subcontractors are brought in, while Thomas remains responsible for the job and your single point of contact. Every commercial job is quoted for free after a site visit, so you know the cost and timescale before committing.
Renovating a Newport terrace
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Maindee, Stow Hill and the surrounding streets are popular with buyers who want character and space. Renovation is the ideal moment to look at the wiring: once floors are up and walls are being replastered, a rewire causes far less disruption than it would in a finished home. A free site visit helps you decide whether a full or partial rewire is needed and how to sequence it with other trades.
Newport landlords and letting agents
With so many rented homes in the city, keeping on top of EICR dates, smoke alarms and remedial work can be a challenge, especially for landlords with several properties. Thomas can inspect, carry out any required work and confirm it in writing, so you have the paperwork you need for tenants and agents.
