Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes
Yarra City Council’s heritage review records that Clifton Hill was laid out in the government subdivisions of the 1860s, and the Clifton Hill Eastern heritage precinct protects many Victorian and Edwardian residential streets.
Half of occupied dwellings are terraces, townhouses or semi-detached homes (ABS 2021). In homes of this age, rewires and switchboard upgrades need careful planning around original ceilings, cornices and walls.

Common questions
Will a rewire damage period features?
We plan cable routes to limit disturbance to ceilings, cornices and walls, and discuss any patching needed before we start.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common signs are old rewireable fuses, no safety switches (RCDs), circuits that trip often, or no room for new circuits. We inspect the board and quote the upgrade.
Can you wire heated towel rails and bathroom fans?
Yes. We wire heated towel rails, exhaust fans and heat, fan and light units as part of bathroom upgrades and renovations.
Can you replace old halogen downlights with LED?
Yes. We replace old halogen downlights and their transformers with LED fittings, which also removes a common source of heat in the ceiling.
