What we do in Silkstone

Queenslanders in Silkstone can still have older wiring hidden in walls and ceilings, sometimes alongside ceramic fuses at the board. 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.

Elsewhere in Silkstone, the housing changes. Houses built in Silkstone after the war usually started with a small switchboard and a handful of circuits. Built-in lower levels need their own lighting, power points and interconnected smoke alarms.
