Yes. We provide electrical repairs, installations and planned maintenance for businesses, rental properties, strata groups and managed portfolios. We discuss access, authorisation, scheduling and reporting requirements with the relevant contact before attendance.
Can you coordinate electrical work with other trades?
Yes. Our in-house plumbing, roofing, air conditioning and Home Services teams can assist when related work is needed. For example, a roof leak may require electrical checks followed by ceiling repairs. One company and one scheduler coordinate the agreed work.
