Local knowledge

Working on Newtown's homes and businesses

Newtown takes its name from John Rankin’s Newtown Estate, sold around 1865. It’s home to Rockton, a brick house on Rockton Street whose first section was completed in 1855, and to Gwennap, built around 1874 for timber merchant Josias Hancock. Both are on the Queensland Heritage Register. Interwar houses are typical of Newtown’s streets. Older homes like these were built with far fewer power points than families use today, and often have switchboards that need upgrading before adding air con or more circuits. With East Ipswich station and Brisbane Road right nearby, we can get to Newtown quickly for planned jobs and after-hours emergencies.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't see your question here? Give us a call and talk to a real person.

Do you service all of Newtown?

Yes. We cover all of Newtown, plus nearby East Ipswich, Booval, Ipswich, Eastern Heights and Silkstone.

Can you add more power points to an older home?

Yes. Older homes often rely on power boards and double adaptors, which can overload a circuit. We can add power points where you need them and check the circuit can safely handle the load.

Can you swap old light fittings for LEDs?

Yes. We can replace old fittings with LED lighting that uses less power and lasts longer, and choose styles that suit an older home.

What should I check before buying an older home in Newtown?

Have a licensed electrician look at the switchboard, safety switches, smoke alarms and the type and condition of the wiring. It tells you about any safety issues or upgrade costs before you commit.

Do you offer emergency call-outs in Newtown?

Yes. Call us on 1300 201 242 any time, day or night.
