Builder and carpenter in Castlemaine
We work across the central Victorian area, and that includes Castlemaine and the towns around it.
Looking for a builder and carpenter in Castlemaine? Andrew's Timeless Carpentry works across the central Victorian area from around Bendigo. Andrew Siggs is a registered builder, and we do finish carpentry, custom renovations, heritage work, decks and pergolas.
Castlemaine sits in Mount Alexander Shire and, like Bendigo, it grew up in the gold rush, so older homes are everywhere. The Shire says you will usually need a permit for most external and some internal works on a property with a Heritage Overlay, and its heritage and urban design officer is the person to ask.

Questions people ask
What is a heritage overlay in Victoria?
A Heritage Overlay is a planning control that shows a place or area has heritage values. It usually means you need a planning permit for changes to the outside of the building, while inside work is only controlled if the council's schedule says so.
You can check your property with a free Planning Property Report, or on the City of Greater Bendigo's Pozi map.
Does my house have asbestos?
Australia banned asbestos in 2003, and the Victorian Government says a home built or renovated before 1990 likely contains it. Common places are eaves, external wall cladding, and the linings behind bathroom, kitchen and laundry tiles.
Check before any repairs or renovations, even drilling a hole, and use a licensed asbestos removalist, because a builder generally is not licensed to remove it.
