Yes. Glenn has extensive experience with Newtown's heritage Queenslanders and character homes. He understands how to upgrade electrical systems whilst respecting architectural features, using creative cable routing through historic construction, preserving VJ walls and decorative ceilings, and maintaining heritage property character.

Glenn assesses your heritage property and recommends appropriate solutions.

Glenn's based in South Toowoomba, 2-3km from Newtown, so travel is never the holdup. The holdup is that he's one person and the book runs a couple of weeks deep. If it's dangerous, switch it off at the board and ring him, and he'll tell you honestly whether he can get to you or whether you need someone sooner.

Every job meets AS/NZS 3000:2018 no matter how old the property is, and Electrical Safety Certificates come with it, so a heritage home gets modern electrical safety without losing its character.
