Good to know
Can you rewire one room at a time?
Often, yes. A staged rewire lets you keep living in the house, although the switchboard may need upgrading first.
Can you add lights to an apartment with a concrete ceiling?
Concrete ceilings limit where new cabling can go. We look at pendants from existing points, track lighting or surface-mounted fittings.
What electrical work can I do in a strata building?
Work inside your own apartment is usually straightforward. Anything on common property, risers or shared boards generally needs the owners corporation to agree first.
