Electrical work in Semaphore
Semaphore's villas and cottages date from the 1880s onward, and it's the 1 suburb where we regularly find wiring that predates plastic insulation. Rewiring a heritage home here means working within the overlay, keeping the fabric intact, and running new circuits through roof spaces and wall cavities that weren't designed for them. It's careful work, and it's the right work: old rubber and cotton-insulated cable within 500 metres of the sea is not something to leave for another decade.
Semaphore Road is a full high street: pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops and the Palais on the foreshore. Kitchen 3-phase, cool rooms, feature and outdoor lighting, emergency lighting testing and fit-outs on tenancy turnover are the regular commercial work, mostly done early or out of hours by agreement. Semaphore also has a lot of holiday accommodation, which needs RCD protection and smoke alarms a landlord can stand behind.
