About Carlton

Apartments beside a World Heritage site

Carlton is home to the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004. Around it, eight in ten occupied dwellings are flats or apartments and more than seven in ten households rent (ABS 2021).

With so many apartments, much of the electrical work here happens inside units and needs landlord or owners corporation approval. The suburb’s Victorian terraces call for more careful planning.

FAQ

Good to know

Can you work inside my apartment or unit?

Yes. We handle lighting, power, data and repairs inside the unit. Work on common property or shared switchboards usually needs owners corporation approval first.

I’m renting. Can I book an electrician?

Yes. Most electrical work needs the owner’s approval, so we can quote to you or directly to your landlord or agent.

Do you work in heritage-listed homes?

Yes. We plan cable routes and fittings to avoid damage to original ceilings and walls. Any planning permit questions sit with the owner and council.

Do you install data points?

Yes. We run data cabling to home offices, TVs and workstations so devices aren’t relying on Wi-Fi alone.
