Commercial electrical work for Cardiff buildings
Cardiff's growth in city-centre apartments and student towers means Welsh landlord rules and the new Welsh regime for higher-risk buildings both apply to many of our clients here.
Fire safety and electrical safety overlap more than most people expect. Faulty wiring is a common cause of fires, cable installations can break compartment lines, and plastic cable clips in escape routes can drop cables during a fire and trap firefighters. Since 2019, BS 7671 has required wiring systems in escape routes to be supported against premature collapse.
Our electricians clear EICR remedials, upgrade distribution boards, replace landlord supplies in blocks of flats, fire-stop service penetrations they have created, and install fire-rated containment. Every job comes with the right BS 7671 certificate.
The rules that apply in Cardiff
Landlords in Wales must have an electrical condition report at least every five years and give the contract holder a copy, under the Renting Homes (Wales) fitness regulations.
