Building trust across South Wales
CVA Building Limited is a family-run building and electrical company rooted in Aberdare and the surrounding valleys.
A local company built on reputation
CVA is a genuinely family-run business based on Cardiff Street in Aberdare. Led by Gary Riddiford, the team — Gary and the boys, Jamie and Lee — has built its name the honest way: turning up when we say we will, doing the job properly, and treating every customer's home like our own.
What sets us apart is that we bring building, electrical and security work together under one roof. Your rewire, patio, extension or CCTV install is handled by one coordinated team rather than a string of separate contractors — saving you time, money and stress. When something's urgent, like an electrical fault, we'll often get out to you the same day.
Almost all of our work comes through word of mouth — local families recommending us to friends and neighbours. In fact, 100% of our reviewers recommend us. That trust is something we never take for granted, and it's why we put the same care into every job, large or small.
