House rewiring
in Fitzroy.

Fitzroy terraces tend to hide their history. You'll find new plaster over old cable, modern kitchens connected to wiring from decades ago, and joins in places nobody wanted to open up. Rubber or cloth insulation can fail with age, and that's the hidden risk when a house looks perfect. A rewire replaces the cable, adds new circuits and fits a modern board, so the system matches how you live now. In a double-storey terrace we plan the routes between floors carefully, because masonry walls and limited roof access make it harder. We lift floorboards where they come up easily, use the roof space and underfloor, and make small, tidy openings elsewhere. We also work around ceiling roses and fireplaces, and keep visible external work discreet in the heritage overlay. If you're planning to renovate, rewiring first means you won't be cutting into new finishes later.
