Renovations, Bathrooms & Extensions around Scarborough
Much of the housing in Scarborough was built decades ago. Older homes like these often still have original switchboards, ceramic fuses or only one or two safety switches, and wiring that was never designed for today's appliances.
Renovating an older home is the right time to replace tired wiring, add safety switches and plan enough power points for how you live now, rather than patching around the old circuits.
Being close to the water, salt air is hard on outdoor fittings, so we recommend marine-grade or sealed (IP-rated) fittings outside and check for corrosion in meter boxes and outdoor points.
Leafy, hilly streets mean storms, trees near overhead service lines and steep blocks, which all affect how outdoor and underground work is planned.
What we do
- Bathroom renovations: heated towel rails, exhaust fans, mirror demisters, downlights and IP-rated fittings
- Kitchen renovations: oven, cooktop and rangehood circuits, under-cabinet lighting, island bench power and USB points
- Extensions and granny flats: new circuits, sub-boards and switchboard capacity checks
- Alterations: moving, adding or removing power points, switches and lights
- Safety switch and switchboard checks so the new work is protected
- Data and TV points while the walls are open

Plan it before the walls close
The cheapest time to add a power point is before the plasterboard goes on. We walk through the plan with you, room by room, and mark every point, switch and light so nothing is missed and nothing needs to be chased in later.
