ELECTRICIAN GLENELG

Electrician in Glenelg. Character homes, units and short-stays.

The sparky behind the Glenelg reno in the review below.

★★★★★
Dave did all the electrical work on our reno in Glenelg and was great to deal with from start to finish. Knows his stuff and just gets the job done without any BS. Have passed his number on to many mates. Strongly recommend.
Jack Butler, Glenelg

Glenelg has three kinds of homes. Each has its own electrical headache.

Character homes. Old villas and bungalows with wiring that's been added to for 80 years. Nobody knows what's behind the walls.

Units and apartments. Shared switchboards, strata rules and tight spaces. Access has to be planned.

Short-stay rentals. Guests check in Friday. If a light fails on Thursday night, it has to be fixed Friday morning.

What happens if you leave it

  • Old wiring in a character home can be brittle and unsafe to touch in a reno.
  • A fault in a short-stay means a bad review and a refund.
  • Unit work done without checking strata can cost you twice.

How I do it

  1. 01

    I look before I quote.

    Old homes need a proper check first.

  2. 02

    You get a written scope.

    What's staying, what's going, one price.

  3. 03

    I work around you.

    Tenants, guests, neighbours and strata.

  4. 04

    Test, clean, report.

    Photos for owners who aren't on site.

FAQs

Can you rewire a character home without wrecking it?

Yes. I plan cable runs to keep patching and damage to a minimum.

Do you work on short-stay rentals?

Yes. I work around bookings and send photo reports to owners.

Do you need strata approval for unit work?

Sometimes. I'll tell you before I start.

Do you cover nearby suburbs?

Yes. Glenelg North, Glenelg South, Somerton Park, Brighton and around.
