General Electrical in Canterbury

Around 2600 people per square kilometre in Canterbury means the usual list is power points, lights, fans and the occasional dedicated circuit. Canterbury sits low at about 70 metres, mostly single-storey housing with accessible roof space, which is the easiest case for adding points and circuits.

Being roughly 10 kilometres from town, Canterbury has homes where earlier work was done to a different standard, and we check rather than assume. In Boroondara, which includes Canterbury, there is no permit for adding a point or a circuit. There is a standard, and we work to it.

Because Canterbury backs onto Balwyn and Camberwell, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us. 7800 residents at the 2021 census, about 3 square kilometres, postcode 3126: that is the scale of Canterbury within Boroondara.

For what it is worth on the day: 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. The decade a suburb filled in tells us what to expect at the board. Our working patch either side of Canterbury takes in Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East, which is why availability here is usually good.

Our workshop is in Boronia, 18.7 kilometres west of Canterbury. That proximity is the whole reason we can hold a fixed quote rather than pricing in the unknown. It is also worth knowing 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.

A further note on how the streets came to be: == 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.
