Courts and cul-de-sacs
Much of Whittington is laid out in courts rather than through streets. It is a small thing, but knowing the layout means we turn up at the right place rather than circling the block.

Luke was on time, communicated well and the job was done to a high standard. Would use again
I had Luke from Next Point Electrics come out to do some electrical work at my place, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. He was on time, friendly, and really knew what he was doing. Everything was done properly, and he even made sure to clean up afterwards. Would definitely call Luke again and recommend him to anyone needing a good, reliable electrician.

Electrician Whittington FAQ
Do you actually cover Whittington?
Yes. It is a short run across for us from Ocean Grove, and there is no travel time on the bill for it. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
Which parts of Whittington do you cover?
All of it, the whole 3219 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. Across the whole of it, and nowhere in Whittington is far enough from us to be worth charging you extra for.
How quickly can you get to Whittington?
It is a short run across for us from Ocean Grove, and there is no travel time on the bill for it. 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?
Yes. Whittington expanded rapidly in the 1960s and over 500 Housing Commission units were built here in that period, which is the single fact that shaped the suburb. At the 2021 census about 44 per cent of households were renting and the median weekly household income was well below the state figure. Practically, that means a good share of the work here is for renters and landlords rather than owner-occupiers, and it means safety switch protection and compliant alarms come up more often than discretionary work. We treat those as the priority they are.

About Whittington
Whittington was named early in the 1920s after James Whittington, an early landowner, and a post office had carried the name since 1914. The district had previously been called Breakwater and St Albans.
The suburb as it stands was built in the 1960s, when residential expansion was rapid and over 500 Housing Commission units went up. The state primary school did not open until 1978. A large part of the suburb is laid out in cul-de-sacs and courts, deliberately, to slow traffic and create neighbourhood reserves between them.
Its southern portion was excised in 1999 to become St Albans Park, which is why census figures before and after that date are not comparable.
One notable building remains from well before all of it. The St Albans Gatehouse at 305 Wilsons Road was built in 1890 and 1891 for the pastoralist John Crozier as the gate lodge to the St Albans Stud, in dichromatic brickwork with an octagonal coved tower and belfry, and it is on the Victorian Heritage Register as one of the finest gate lodges in Victoria.
At the 2021 census the population was just under four thousand across about 1,874 dwellings, roughly 90 per cent of them freestanding houses with the balance units and flats, and the median age was 42.
The practical version for a Whittington owner: if the house dates from the 1960s expansion and the board is original, that is the first job and the rest depends on it.
If you are renting, safety switch protection and working smoke alarms are your landlord's responsibility and they are not optional. We are happy to tell you plainly what is required.
