Your local electricians in Cardiff City Centre
Flats, shops, bars and offices: city centre electrics all have their own demands.
The city centre is a mix of apartments above shops, converted upper floors, new-build blocks and busy commercial units. A fault here rarely affects just one person: a tripped board in a restaurant stops the kitchen, and a failed communal light leaves a whole stairwell in the dark.
We are used to working in tight plant rooms, shared meter cupboards and premises that need to stay open. We find the fault, restore safe circuits first and keep disruption to customers, staff and neighbours as small as possible.
Common call-outs in Cardiff City Centre:
- Flats above shops with no power
- Bar and restaurant kitchen faults
- Communal stairwell lighting out
- Office boards tripping
- Emergency lighting failures
- Shop fronts and signage faults

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 Cardiff City Centre. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
Can you work in our restaurant without closing it?
Often, yes. Where it is safe we isolate only the affected circuits so the rest of the premises can keep running, and we can return out of hours to finish any work that needs a full shutdown.
Our flat shares a meter room with the building. Can you still help?
Yes. We regularly work with shared meter rooms and communal supplies. If the fault is on the landlord's side we will explain who is responsible and help you get it sorted.
Do you attend on match and concert days?
Yes, although road closures around the stadium can slow us down. Let us know your exact location and we will find the best way in.
