House rewiring
in Caulfield South.

Houses of this age may still carry rubber or cloth wiring behind the plaster, sometimes mixed with later additions. Insulation turns brittle, and you notice it as warm switches, crackling outlets or a smell near the board. We start by inspecting what is there, since a partial fix is sometimes enough. Where a full rewire makes sense, we plan the route to protect cornices and ceiling roses, using roof space and floor voids so patching stays modest. Brick bungalows can be tricky, so we are upfront about what cutting is needed. We pair the rewire with a new board, because new cable on an old panel makes little sense. Townhouses built on subdivided blocks usually have newer wiring, so this is mostly a job for the original homes. We show you the plan before work begins.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main house rewires page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Caulfield South.
