Your local Northcote electrician

We know the wiring behind Northcote walls

Northcote is a short hop east across Merri Creek from our Brunswick workshop, and we're up and down High Street and around Ruckers Hill most weeks.

The signature Northcote job is the Californian bungalow — beautiful house, deep roof space, and wiring that has been added to by five different people over eighty years. We spend a lot of time untangling that safely, usually as part of a renovation rather than an emergency.

What we're called out for in Northcote

• Full and staged rewires. Bungalows and villas rewired over three to five days, working from the roof space so ceilings and cornices stay intact wherever possible.
• Renovation and extension rough-ins. Working to the builder's program — rough-in, fit-off, certification and a board that's labelled properly at the end.
• Kitchen and bathroom circuits. Dedicated circuits for induction, ovens and heat lamps, with the compliance paperwork your building surveyor needs.
• Feature and exterior lighting. Deck, garden and facade lighting on timers or app control — done so it flatters the house rather than floodlighting the street.
• Emergency fault finding. Persistent RCD trips traced properly with a clamp meter and an insulation tester, not by guessing at breakers.

Typical Northcote housing stock: Californian bungalows and Edwardian villas around Ruckers Hill, Victorian workers' cottages near Westgarth, and renovated extensions throughout.
