Bringing older Watsonia homes up to date

With good train access on the Hurstbridge line, many Watsonia buyers are young families and first-home owners taking on an older house and updating it in stages. We can plan the electrical work so each stage fits the next, rather than redoing work later.

Watsonia’s post-war and 1960s–70s homes are popular with renovators. Common projects include opening up living areas, replacing kitchens and bathrooms and adding rear extensions.

If you are planning a home renovation, make sure an electrical renovation is part of the plan. Older homes may have wiring that should be replaced while walls are open, and the original layout rarely has enough power points for modern living.

Planning the electrical work early avoids costly changes later.
