Complete Rewiring Service

Safe Wiring for
Heritage Homes

Most Fremantle houses built before 1970 still have original VIR (vulcanised rubber) wiring — brittle by now, often patched multiple times across the decades. By 2026, the rubber insulation is past its useful life and the patches rarely meet current WA code.

I do progressive rewires — one circuit per visit, RCDs added at the board, hardwired smoke alarms while I'm in the ceiling. No need to move out; I restore power to completed circuits each day. SMS me a photo of your board and I'll give you a real quote range, not a generic estimate.
