Safety checks before renovating
Before altering rooms, ask for an electrical check that covers the planned changes. Agree on the circuits to be tested, areas that can be accessed and written findings. A check of visible fittings alone cannot confirm the condition of all hidden wiring.
Before you agree to the work
Request priorities for repairs and planned upgrades, including areas that could not be checked. Keep the inspection findings separate from the later renovation quote.
Extensions in an established residential suburb
Council dates the main Edens Landing development to 1984–85 and the station opening to 1986. Later renovations may have changed a home’s original installation. Tell the electrician about added rooms or circuits and roof access. Loane Drive is on Council’s narrow-road list, which may affect parking at a particular address.
