Ripponlea homes
Electrical work
in Ripponlea.
Ripponlea packs a lot into a few streets. You will find Edwardian and Federation houses, interwar homes, and a good number of Art Deco and 1930s flat blocks, with the historic Rippon Lea Estate on its eastern edge. Much of the area sits under heritage overlays, so we keep external work out of sight from the street wherever possible. Inside, many houses still have original wiring in some rooms and newer cable in others, which makes testing important before any upgrade. Owners here often want modern kitchens and better lighting while keeping ceiling roses, cornices and timber detail intact, and we plan our work around that.

“Steve and Jason installed several new downlights and powerpoints in my apartment, as well as installing a bathroom fan and doing a general switchboard check. The work was done very fast and to high quality. Steve had great ideas on how to improve the lighting and ventilation in my apartment in a cost effective manner. Steve's input really improved the look of my bathroom in particular, it almost looks like a new room!”
