What I do

Most jobs fall into one of five shapes.

If yours doesn't, call anyway — I'd rather tell you straight whether it's a job for me, or point you at someone who'll do it better.

i.

Apartment & body corporate maintenance

Regular electrical maintenance, call-outs, and ongoing upgrades for apartment buildings and bodies corporate. I learn your building so the second call is faster than the first, and the tenth is faster again. Currently the go-to for an 18-unit complex in Kingsland — five years and counting.

  • Common-area lighting
  • Riser & switchboard work
  • After-hours call-outs
  • Compliance & reporting
  • Resident liaison
ii.

Lighting plans & complete fit-outs

Working with a designer or architect? Send me the plans, I'll spec the fittings and do the install. Doing it yourself? I'll talk you through what you actually need vs. what the catalog wants you to want. I've done about forty fit-outs including two photography studios that needed specific colour-temperature control and clean cable runs in working creative spaces.

  • Pendant & feature lighting
  • Recessed downlights
  • Track & gallery lighting
  • Smart controls & dimming
  • Architect-coordinated installs
iii.

Renovation electrical

New wiring, new circuits, new points, code compliance for kitchens and bathrooms — the work that happens behind the walls when you're doing a full reno. I work in alongside builders and project-manage the electrical end-to-end so you don't end up holding bits of unfinished cable on opening day.

  • Full rewires
  • Kitchen & bathroom upgrades
  • Sub-board installs
  • Builder coordination
  • Final certification
iv.

Residential maintenance & small jobs

A power point that won't hold a plug. A switch that buzzes. An exterior light that needs a sensor. A new circuit for the heat pump. The everyday electrical work that most one-person sparkies don't bother quoting because it's not big enough — I do, because the next reno is coming, and I'd rather you call me first.

  • Power points & switches
  • Heat pump circuits
  • EV charger installs
  • Outdoor & security lighting
  • Fault-finding
v.

Future-proofing & upgrades

Older houses with switchboards from 1995 and circuits laid out for a different decade. I'll come look at it, tell you what's failing soon and what's still got ten years in it, and quote you the work in plain English. Most of these jobs end up half what people are afraid they'll be.

  • Switchboard upgrades
  • RCD installs
  • EV-ready outlets
  • Smart home retrofits
  • Pre-purchase inspections

Lighting, specifically

The fixtures aren't the job. The room is.

Most lighting fit-outs go wrong because someone picked the fittings before they thought about the room — too many downlights in a room with a beautiful ceiling, or one feeble pendant in a kitchen the size of a small carpark. I'd rather you spend half what you were going to on the right number of the right things, and have the room work the way you wanted it to.

If you're starting a reno or a new build and you want to talk lighting before you've signed off on anything, call me before the gib goes up. That's the cheapest version of this conversation.

Not sure if it's a Redwire job?

Just call. I'll tell you.

I won't quote work I can't do well, and I won't waste your time pretending otherwise. Calling costs you nothing.
