The suburb includes the Arden urban renewal precinct around the new Arden Station, which the Victorian Government plans as a major employment area and new neighbourhood.

Terrace rewires

Many North Melbourne terraces still have older wiring and fuse boards. A rewire and a new switchboard with safety switches are often done together, planned to limit disturbance to ceilings and walls.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need owners corporation approval?

For work inside your own apartment, usually not. Anything touching common property, risers or shared boards generally does, and we can help with the details they ask for.

Do you work with landlords and property managers?

Yes. We can quote to the owner or agent, arrange access with tenants, and send the paperwork once the job is done.

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.

Can work be done outside business hours?

Where the job allows, yes. We plan fit-out and maintenance work around trading hours so disruption is kept down.
