Deadshort Services – Adelaide’s Trusted Multi-Trade Company

From Electrical Beginnings to a Complete Multi Trade Service

Deadshort Services began more than 35 years ago as a family-owned electrical company in Adelaide. Our reputation grew because we delivered what people valued most — reliable electrical repairs, safe switchboard upgrades, quality lighting installations, and 24/7 emergency support. From the start, we worked with domestic, commercial, and industrial clients, giving each the same care and attention no matter how big or small the job.

As our reputation grew, customers began asking for more. They wanted the same dependable service for plumbing, roofing, air conditioning, fencing, and property maintenance. Instead of outsourcing or using subcontractors, we built each department ourselves. Every trade team is led by a qualified Head of Department and supported by a dedicated scheduler. This structure keeps jobs running smoothly — whether it’s a leaking tap in a home, a roof inspection for a council building, or HVAC maintenance for a restaurant chain.

Today, Deadshort Services is Adelaide’s complete multi-trade provider. We support homeowners, businesses, and industrial facilities, along with local councils, aged care providers, government departments, restaurant groups, and commercial builders.

Why We Expanded Beyond Electrical

Expanding into multiple trades wasn’t about chasing growth — it was about listening to our customers.

• Client demand: People wanted one trusted company to handle everything.

• Consistency: Different contractors often delivered different standards.

• Accountability: When trades overlap — like a roof leak damaging electrical wiring — one company must take full responsibility.

• Efficiency: One number, one invoice, one coordinated team.

• Family values: As a locally owned business, we wanted to protect our customers from the delays and costs that come with subcontractors and interstate franchises.

That’s why our motto isn’t just marketing. It’s our promise:
One Number. One Call. Multiple Trades.

How We Maintain Excellence Across All Trades

It’s natural to ask: “How can one company be good at everything?”

The answer is in our structure:

• Each department is led by a specialist Head of Department with years of trade expertise.

• Every division has a dedicated scheduler ensuring smooth communication and timely service.

• Our staff are in-house employees only — we never subcontract.

• All tradespeople are fully police-checked, licensed, and insured, so you know exactly who is working on your property.
