Balmain 2041

Electrician Balmain

Balmain's streets of Victorian workers' cottages and terraces are where power point work has to be done carefully: hidden in the walls rather than run along them, in houses that were never wired for today's appliances. Peter wrote about exactly that work for Balmain homes in 2019.
