Old roofs, old cable: the Pascoe Vale South pattern
Iron roofs on Pascoe Vale South weatherboards are easy to walk but noisy to drill; we use existing fixings and a rafter bracket where we can. On terracotta we lift and re-bed tiles around the new cable entry so the roof stays watertight.

Questions from Pascoe Vale South customers
Where should the antenna go on a Pascoe Vale South period home?
It needs a clear view toward Mt Dandenong (about 106°, east-south-east). On heritage frontages we look for a rear or side position first so the antenna is less visible from the street.
Can you add TV points to an older house?
Yes — we run new RG6 cable in the roof space and walls, fit modern outlets and balance the signal so every room gets a clean picture. Quoted at a fixed price before we start.
My Pascoe Vale South house is heritage-listed — is that a problem?
Usually not. We look for a rear or side position that keeps the frontage clear, and can provide details if council asks.
