Your local electricians in Adamsdown
Busy rented streets where fast, clear help matters most.
Adamsdown is one of the most densely populated parts of Cardiff, with many terraces divided into flats and a large number of rented homes. Faults are often reported by tenants who need clear advice quickly, while landlords need to know exactly what was found and fixed.
We deal with both. We check whether a power loss is a prepayment meter, a tripped device or a real fault, fix what needs fixing, and leave a clear explanation for everyone involved.
Common call-outs in Adamsdown:
- Rented flat with no power
- Prepayment meter confusion
- Tripping in shared houses
- Consumer units in tight hallways
- Landlord repair call-outs
- Lights out in communal areas

Electrical know-how for Adamsdown
What we have learned working on homes and businesses in Adamsdown.
What we often find
Ageing fuse boards in narrow hallways, overloaded circuits in shared houses, faulty communal lighting and power losses that turn out to be meter credit rather than a fault.
Getting to you
Parking is limited and many flats share a front door. Let us know which flat, any access codes and who holds the keys to shared meter cupboards.

What to do in the first few minutes, while a qualified electrician is on the way to you.
Switch off at the main switch
If it is safe to reach and your hands are dry, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. That cuts power to the whole property.
Do not touch anything damaged
Keep away from sockets, switches or cables that are sparking, hot, buzzing or wet. Never try to fix them yourself.
Unplug what you safely can
If one circuit keeps tripping, unplug the appliances on it. A faulty kettle, heater or washing machine is often the cause.
Check if neighbours have power
If the whole street is dark it is a network fault. Call 105 to report it to the network operator. If it is only you, call us.
Smoke or fire: get out, call 999
If you see smoke or flames, leave the property straight away and call 999. Do not go back in. Call us once everyone is safe.
Call us and keep everyone clear
Tell us what you can see, hear or smell. We will talk you through staying safe and give you an honest arrival time.
Warning signs
Scorch marks, buzzing or a hot smell from your board?
Switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so, keep clear, and call us straight away. Damage like this is exactly what we are called out to fix.

Your questions, answered
Common questions from customers in Adamsdown. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
I have a prepayment meter and no power. Is it a fault?
Check your credit and emergency credit first. If the meter shows credit and your trip switches are up but there is still no power, call us and we will find the fault.
The light in our shared stairwell has stopped working. Who fixes it?
Communal lighting is normally the landlord's or managing agent's responsibility. Report it to them, but if it is dangerous or they are unreachable, we can make it safe.
Can you send the report to my landlord?
Yes. With your permission we can send details of the fault and repair straight to your landlord or agent.
