At around 3,813 people per square kilometre, Bentleigh homes sit close together, so noise, access and keeping the site tidy matter as much as the work itself. Sitting at about 35 metres, Bentleigh has good subfloor access on most homes, which makes underfloor runs practical.
Bentleigh sits 13 kilometres from the city. Rubber-insulated cable from earlier decades can still turn up behind a wall here. In Glen Eira, which includes Bentleigh, there is no permit to apply for on a normal job, and we will say plainly when a job is not normal.
Because Bentleigh backs onto Bentleigh East and Brighton East, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us. Bentleigh spans roughly 4.7 square kilometres of Glen Eira. Postcode 3204, and 17,921 people at the 2021 census.
Bentleigh East, Brighton East, Hampton East and McKinnon and Bentleigh form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs. At roughly 22.9 kilometres west of Boronia, Bentleigh is inside the area we cover every week rather than on its edge.
