Ceiling Fans in Canterbury

At around 2600 people per square kilometre, Canterbury has the room sizes where fan and light on separate switching is worth doing properly. Canterbury sits low at about 70 metres, where summer heat is at its strongest in this part of Melbourne and fans earn their place every year.

At 10 kilometres out, Canterbury is inner-east. Decorative ceiling roses and cornices mean the mount has to be planned rather than improvised. Being part of Boroondara, Canterbury follows the standard position: licensed work, braced correctly, certified.

We work across Balwyn, Camberwell and Hawthorn East on the same trip, and Canterbury sits in the middle of that loop. The 2021 census figure for Canterbury was 7800 residents. The suburb covers about 3 square kilometres of Boroondara under postcode 3126.

A note on how Canterbury developed: 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. It tells us what the ceiling structure will be. Canterbury sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East.

We work out of Boronia, about 18.7 kilometres west from Canterbury. No travel charge, no minimum call-out to justify the drive. One more piece of local background: == 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.

On the older parts of the area: 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.
