THORNBURY / MELBOURNE'S INNER NORTH
Homes in Thornbury.
Work planned around them.

At the 2021 Census, Thornbury had about 8,910 homes: 51% separate houses, 23% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 24% flats and apartments. Renters make up about 42% of Thornbury's households; 27% of homes are owned outright and 29% are mortgaged.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Thornbury?
Yes. We work right across Thornbury (VIC 3071), up to the borders with Alphington, Brunswick East and Coburg. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
I rent out a property in Thornbury. What electrical checks does it need?
Victorian rental providers must arrange an electrical safety check at least every two years, and smoke alarms need to be tested every year. About 42% of Thornbury's households rent (about 3,350 homes at the 2021 Census), so we can work with you or your agent on access and provide the written report.
My Thornbury home is older. Should the switchboard be checked?
It is worth checking before adding major load such as air conditioning, an induction cooktop or an EV charger. Older boards can have rewireable fuses or circuits without safety-switch protection. We assess the board and explain what, if anything, needs to change.
What should I send for a quote?
Tell us what you want changed, your street in Thornbury and any access details. If you have chosen a fitting or appliance, include the model. Photos are optional; there is no need to remove electrical covers.
