Canterbury is about 2600 people per square kilometre. Standard kitchens, standard circuits, and a fault that is usually found without dismantling the room. Canterbury is roughly 70 metres above sea level. Stable power means a control board failure is a control board failure, not a symptom of something upstream.
At about 10 kilometres from the CBD, Canterbury homes often have no dedicated oven circuit at all, which is a finding rather than a fault. In Boroondara, which includes Canterbury, there is no permit and no application. There is a test, a diagnosis and an honest answer about whether it is worth repairing.
Canterbury is bracketed by Balwyn and Camberwell, both of which we are in regularly, so scheduling here is rarely the hard part. Postcode 3126, about 3 square kilometres, 7800 residents at the 2021 census: that is the shape of Canterbury inside Boroondara.
Background that shapes the diagnosis: == History ==
The railway station is in many ways responsible for the suburb's existence: before the opening of the railway to the City in 1882, the area was a semi-rural area. Circuit vintage decides whether the appliance or the supply is the likely culprit. We are across Canterbury along with Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East, on the same rates and the same certificate.
From our Boronia workshop Canterbury is about 18.7 kilometres west, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip. One more piece of local background: The first subdivision in the area came in 1885, when Michael Logan created the 'Claremont Park Estate' within the area of Canterbury Road, Bryson Street, Prospect Hill Road and Logan Street.
Also worth knowing about the area: In 1900 Snowden's estate was subdivided and sold off to form what is now Monomeath Avenue and residents such as notable architect Percey Kernot and prominent citizen George Coghill moved in.
