House rewiring
in South Melbourne.

Victorian cottages here have collected every kind of wiring over the years. Cloth-covered cable, rubber insulation, patches from past renovations and extensions wired onto whatever was nearby. If lights flicker or the board trips often, old wiring is a common cause. A rewire replaces the lot with modern cable and proper circuits. The challenge in a terrace or cottage is doing it without wrecking walls that took craftspeople real effort to build. We use the roof space and sub-floor wherever we can and cut only where there is no other route. We work room by room, so you may be able to stay in the house. Original switches and fittings are sometimes worth keeping, and we can discuss which ones can be reused. Afterwards we test the whole installation and hand over a record of the work. House rewiring in South Melbourne is as much about care as it is about cable.
