Paddington's housing is overwhelmingly pre-war: workers' cottages and Queenslanders on steep, narrow blocks, most of them renovated at least once. That history is exactly what makes the electrical work interesting. It is common to find a switchboard that has been added to across three or four separate renovations, with circuits nobody has labelled since the 1970s.
Paddington is named in Hoff's service area and is one of the suburbs he works in regularly. Hoff's is based in Paddington.
Local considerations
What's worth knowing about Paddington properties.
General characteristics of housing in the area. Not every home is the same, and yours gets looked at on its own terms.
Layered switchboards
Boards in character homes here have often been extended piecemeal. Working out what is actually on each circuit is usually the first task, before anything is quoted.
Steep, narrow blocks
Paddington's topography limits where an outdoor condenser can sit, and how a pipe run reaches it. Position is worth agreeing on site rather than assuming.
Timber construction
VJ walls and timber framing change how cable is run and how much patching a job needs. That gets flagged before work starts, not after.
Under-house access
Many homes here are raised, which often makes cable routing considerably tidier than in a slab-on-ground house.
Heritage-sensitive frontages
Where a street frontage matters, equipment and conduit can usually be routed to keep the front elevation clean.
