Brunswick Street and Gertrude Street run through Melbourne's oldest suburb, where Victorian terraces line almost every street. The wiring inside them is often far older than the latest renovation suggests.

Fitzroy homes
Electrical work
in Fitzroy.
Fitzroy is known for its Victorian terraces and cottages, from grand double-storey rows with cast-iron lacework to tiny single-fronted workers' houses. There are also converted warehouses, public housing towers and a growing number of apartment buildings. Heritage overlays are widespread, so we keep visible external work discreet. Many terraces have been renovated more than once, but the wiring often hasn't kept pace. We regularly find old cable hidden behind fresh plaster, switchboards without safety switches and circuits overloaded by modern kitchens. Double-storey terraces bring their own challenges, with limited access between floors and solid masonry walls. We plan each job to protect original features like ceiling roses, cornices and fireplaces while bringing the electrical up to date.

We rewire carefully, working around solid walls and between floors to protect original cornices, roses and fireplaces.House Rewires in Fitzroy SwitchboardsMany Fitzroy homes still have fuse boards without safety switches. Upgrading the switchboard is often the first priority, especially before adding new appliances or air conditioning.Switchboards in Fitzroy PowerpointsTerraces built in the 1800s rarely have enough outlets. We add powerpoints throughout, chasing neatly into masonry or using discreet routes so the period character stays intact.Powerpoints in Fitzroy

“Steven provided a good and accurate quote over the phone and the job came in on price. Contacted about arrival time the night before and showed up when expected. The outdoor power point was installed within 20 minutes and the job was finished and cleaned well. Nice to deal with and enjoyed our dog coming by to check out what was going on.”

FAQ
Fitzroy electrical FAQs
Can't see your question? Call Steve on 0450 347 495.
How do you run new wiring in a double-storey Fitzroy terrace with solid brick walls?
We look for existing paths first, like old gas pipe routes, cupboards and the space beside chimneys. Where needed, we chase neatly into masonry and patch afterwards. Planning the route upfront keeps damage low and protects features like cornices and ceiling roses.
