Electrical and lighting upgrades for Brisbane apartments
LED downlights, extra power points, ceiling fans and switchboard checks by a licensed electrician who works inside our crew, certified, clean, done in a day.
The trade apartment owners forget until they need it
Every renovation touches electrical, but most unit owners only think about it when they want a pendant over the dining table or the power points are in the wrong decade's position. Rob does our electrical in-house, which means no waiting on a separate sparky to turn up between the plasterer and the painter.
The jobs we do most: LED downlight upgrades, extra outlets, ceiling fans (Brisbane apartments need them), dimmers, USB points, and switchboard checks on pre-2000 buildings. All certified, all tested, all photographed before walls close.

Electrical in apartments sometimes needs body corporate sign-off for shared circuits, Lena handles that paperwork free as part of any bigger job.
How a electrical job runs
Short, licensed, certified. Five steps and you're usually done by lunch on day two.
Circuit check
Rob inspects the switchboard and existing circuits, tells you honestly whether the upgrade you want is a 2-hour job or needs more.
Written quote
Per-point pricing in writing. If the body's shared circuits need strata sign-off, we flag it here.
Cut & wire
Ceilings cut cleanly, cables run, fittings mounted. Photos of all cabling before the plaster goes back.
Patch & test
Ceiling patches made, every point tested, dimmers programmed, fans balanced so they don't wobble at speed three.
Certification
You get the electrical safety certificate for your records, the thing your insurer and future buyer actually care about.

Your electrical crew
Rob Ashwell's been a licensed sparky for fourteen years and joined us full-time in 2023 after years of being the subbie we trusted most. He does the wiring, Sam patches the ceiling, and the wall looks like nothing happened.
On bigger renos Rob works inside the same schedule as everyone else, which is why our jobs don't stall waiting for a sparky who's 'definitely coming Thursday'.
