House rewiring
in Mont Albert.

Houses from the early 1900s can still carry rubber or cloth wiring in the roof space and walls, especially in the original front rooms. It may have survived because nothing has failed yet, not because it is safe. In Mont Albert the back of the house has often been renovated, so you may have new cable in one half and old wiring in the other. We assess both, then plan the rewire in stages that suit how you live. High ceilings and decorative plaster mean we work from the roof space and under the floors where we can, instead of opening walls. Leadlight, cornices and timber panelling are protected before we begin. The switchboard, safety switches and circuits are renewed together, so the whole system matches. If the house is under a heritage overlay, we keep any new external work low-key.

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 Mont Albert.
