Most of the urgent callouts we get were not urgent six months earlier. They were a warm powerpoint, a light that flickered now and then, or a board that tripped occasionally. Dealing with those early is far cheaper than dealing with them late.

We do maintenance for houses, holiday places, shops and cafes along the coast. Some clients book an annual check. Others call when something starts playing up.

Salt air is the thing people underestimate down here. It gets into outdoor powerpoints, light fittings, air conditioner isolators and anything mounted on a west facing wall. A fitting that would last fifteen years in Geelong can be corroded through in five in Lorne. Worth knowing before it fails.

What is included

A full visual and test check of your switchboard
Testing every safety switch and reporting anything that fails
Replacing corroded or damaged powerpoints, switches and fittings
Checking outdoor and coastal exposed equipment for salt damage
Tightening connections that have worked loose over time
Repairing or replacing failed lights, fans and exhaust units
A written list of anything we found and what it will cost to sort

One off visits or an annual check, whatever suits. For rental and holiday properties an annual check is worth doing anyway, since it gives you something on paper if a tenant or guest ever raises a safety issue.

Holiday home maintenance

Electrical work on holiday houses and rentals, arranged and completed while you are away.

Electrical maintenance, answered.

How often should a house be checked?+

For a permanently occupied home, every couple of years is plenty unless something changes. For a holiday rental or an older place near the water, once a year is sensible.

Can you do it while I am not there?+

Yes, and we often do. We can arrange access with your property manager or cleaner, then send you photos and a written summary of anything we found.

Do you fix things on the spot?+

Usually. We carry the common stuff in the van, so powerpoints, switches, safety switches and most light fittings get sorted the same visit rather than needing a second trip.
