What we do in Shorncliffe
Timber character homes around Shorncliffe often mix original wiring with later additions, each done to a different standard. Fans and pendants in tall rooms need solid fixing points, which we locate in the ceiling framing. Before new lights or power go in, we check what is already there so new work isn’t hung off tired circuits.
Shorncliffe also has its share of coastal homes close to the water. Salt air near the coast at Shorncliffe corrodes outdoor lights, power points and air conditioner isolators faster than inland. Older beach houses are also a priority for smoke alarm upgrades to Queensland’s photoelectric, interconnected requirements.
