Home electrician for Preston and Reservoir
We're based in Preston, so most jobs here are a short drive from the workshop.
Preston, Reservoir, Kingsbury and Bundoora. No travel charge.
Know the houses. Know the wiring.
Reservoir and the north of Preston grew quickly after the war, and many streets are still lined with 1950s and 60s brick veneer and weatherboard houses. A lot of them still have their original switchboards, with ceramic fuses and no safety switches. Closer to High Street, Preston's older Edwardian and interwar houses have usually had their wiring added to over the decades, which is worth checking before a renovation.
The jobs we do most here are switchboard upgrades and safety switches for families who have just bought an older home, smoke alarm checks for rental providers, extra powerpoints and lighting for kitchen updates, and EV chargers in driveways and carports.
