Canterbury sits at about 2600 people per square kilometre, the detached-housing pattern that makes up most of our work: accessible roof space, an external board, and circuits we can isolate and test properly. At around 70 metres, Canterbury is level. Supply is usually underground and reliable, so faults are nearly always inside the property.
Being roughly 10 kilometres from town, Canterbury has lath and plaster, limited ceiling access and extensions that created a second roof space nobody documented. Canterbury is in Boroondara. Everyday electrical work needs nothing from the council. It needs a licensed electrician, correct protection and a Certificate of Electrical Safety, and that is what you get from us.
If we are already in Balwyn or Camberwell that day, Canterbury is on the same run and we will usually offer you the same window. By the numbers: 7800 people, roughly 3 square kilometres, postcode 3126, inside Boroondara. That is Canterbury as of the 2021 census.
A note on how Canterbury developed: 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. That history is why wiring standards vary street to street here. Day to day we are across Canterbury and the streets either side of it: Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East. Same crew, same rates, same certificate at the end.
We work out of Boronia, about 18.7 kilometres west from Canterbury. No travel charge, no minimum call-out to justify the drive. There is more to the local history than that: 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.
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.
