Your local electricians in Splott
Solid old terraces, newer extensions, and electrics stretched between the two.
Splott's terraced streets were built to house workers for the docks and the East Moors steelworks. Many have since gained kitchen extensions, bathrooms and garden buildings, often wired on to the original circuits rather than given their own.
That is a common source of tripping and overheating, especially where outside sockets, sheds or garden lights have been added. We find the real cause, separate what needs separating and make it safe.
Common call-outs in Splott:
- Kitchen extension circuit tripping
- Outside socket faults
- Shed and garden power issues
- Bathroom fan and light faults
- Whole house power loss
- Damp affecting fittings

Electrical know-how for Splott
What we have learned working on homes and businesses in Splott.
What we often find
Extensions run from overloaded circuits, outdoor sockets letting in water, damp in rear rooms affecting fittings and older consumer units without full RCD protection.
Getting to you
Many Splott homes have rear lane access, which can be easier for us than the front. Tell us which works best when you call.

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 Splott. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
Our RCD trips whenever it rains. What is wrong?
Water is probably getting into an outside socket, light or garden supply. Leave that circuit off if you can identify it and call us. We will find the entry point and make it watertight.
Can you add a separate circuit for our extension?
Once the emergency is dealt with, yes. Giving a kitchen extension its own circuit often stops repeated tripping. We will quote clearly before doing any extra work.
Do you cover all of Splott, including the newer estates?
Yes, every street in Splott, from the older terraces to the newer homes towards the Bay.
