Character housing
Beautiful homes, ageing wiring.
A lot of Ashgrove housing predates the wiring standards we take for granted. Vulcanised rubber cable, ceramic fuses and boards built for a house with a fridge and a radio are all common finds under those roofs.
None of it is a reason to panic. It is a reason to know what you have got before you add an air conditioner, an induction cooktop or a charger to it.
What Ashgrove asks for
The work these homes usually need.
- Switchboard upgrades, replacing ceramic fuses with RCBO protection
- Full or partial rewires where old rubber-insulated cable has perished
- Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms ahead of the 2027 deadline
- LED lighting upgrades in homes still running halogen downlights
- Split-system installation, including the dedicated circuit it needs
- Ceiling fans through bedrooms and living areas
Before you renovate
Worth knowing what is in the walls first.
Renovating a character home tends to expose the wiring at exactly the moment it is most expensive to deal with. Knowing the state of it beforehand changes the order you do things in.
While we are on site for any paid work, the free health scan gives you a read on the board, the lighting and the alarms.

Yes. Ashgrove, The Gap, Bardon, Enoggera, Newmarket, Alderley, Grange, Red Hill, Kelvin Grove and Wilston are all within our normal area.
Not automatically. It depends on whether the original cable is still in place and what condition it is in. We look before telling you.
Electrical work inside the house is not usually affected, but we work to keep cable runs and fittings sympathetic to the building. We will talk through anything visible before doing it.
It is well within our normal area. Call and we will tell you honestly what our next availability is.
