Terraces are not detached houses
A third of the dwellings here share a wall with the one next door. That changes where cable can go and how a job is staged, and it is the sort of thing worth knowing before the quote rather than on the day.

What customers say
Published on our Google Business Profile, word for word.
Luke did a great job and was very flexible and understanding of our needs. He listened and was very helpful in explaining answers to our questions. I would highly recommend his work.
Luke was on time, considerate upon entering the house, and has a pleasant, friendly manner. He also gave excellent advice and suggestions/options for solving the problem, without "pushing" for one or the other. NEXTPOINT Electrics is to be highly recommended.
Luke at NextPoint was fantastic. Arrived on time both times he's done work, texted first to say he was on his way. Very quick, efficient and tidy with both jobs and a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.
Luke was super efficient and communication on point. Came around the next day to quote for all ceiling fans replaced and was all done in less than a week. Highly recommend Luke and Nextpoint Electrics!
Absolutely terrific to work with. Luke’s professional manner coupled with friendliness, all the while keeping us updated on progress. Have no hesitation in recommending Luke.
Really impressed with Nextpoint Electrics! Friendly, professional, and got the job done promptly. Highly recommend for anyone needing an electrician you can trust.

Electrician South Geelong FAQ
Do you actually cover South Geelong?
Yes. It is a short run in for us from Ocean Grove, and it carries no distance loading. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
Which parts of South Geelong do you cover?
All of it, the whole 3220 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. Across the cottages and the terraces alike, and none of it far enough out to be worth charging you extra for.
How quickly can you get to South Geelong?
It is a short run in for us from Ocean Grove, and it carries no distance loading. We do not promise a set response time, but you get a straight answer on the phone and a time on the day rather than an all day window.
Is there anything particular about the housing here?
There is, and it separates South Geelong from almost everywhere else we work. Close to a third of dwellings here are terraces, townhouses or semi-detached, which is the highest share of any suburb we cover, and the houses are small: under three bedrooms on average. Attached housing changes the job. Walls are shared, roof space is sometimes shared, and a run that would be simple in a freestanding house has to go somewhere else. It is worth us seeing it before pricing rather than after.

About South Geelong
South Geelong is among the oldest parts of the city. David Fisher built what has been described as the first house in Geelong worthy of the name here around 1836. Before the railway went through in 1876 the suburb reached further north, up to about Kilgour Street, and a Wesleyan school opened in 1854 with the state primary following in 1879.
The housing runs from the 1850s through to the 1920s: Victorian, Edwardian and interwar, with the City South Residential Heritage Area covering a great deal of it. Around 193 further properties have been recommended for inclusion by extending that overlay.
Wool made it. There were wool scours along Gravel Pits Road discharging into the Barwon, Godfrey Hirst opened a mill at Swanston Street in 1899, and the Valley Worsted Mills ran from 1924 to 1973. The Victorian Woollen and Cloth Company mills on Swanston Street date from around 1865 and are among the earliest woollen mills in the state. Godfrey Hirst still operates on Barwon Terrace.
The dwelling mix is what makes it different to work in. At the 2021 census about 68 per cent of occupied dwellings were freestanding houses and just over 30 per cent were terraces, townhouses or semi-detached, with no apartments recorded at all. The average dwelling had 2.9 bedrooms. Small, old, attached and close to the centre.
The practical version for a South Geelong owner: in an attached house, say so when you ring. Where the meter is and whether a wall is shared decides a surprising amount about the job.
If the property is in the heritage area, raise it early. It rarely stops a job but it changes the order things happen in.
