Renovation Electricians in Bacchus Marsh, Melton and Surrounding Areas

The earlier the better. Ideally, before the renovation starts so we can plan everything out, get dates booked in, work in with your builder or trades, and help you figure out exactly what you want to achieve. A big part of renovations is planning. Powerpoints, lighting, appliances, LED strips, heated towel rails, data points, switchboard upgrades, smoke alarms, there's a lot to think about. The earlier we're involved, the smoother the whole renovation runs.

Yes. We work directly with builders and other trades all the time. We do a lot of kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations and full house renovations, so we're very used to working in with builders, plasterers, cabinet makers, tilers and painters. We're organised, easy to deal with, and keep the electrical side moving without holding anyone up.

It depends on the age and condition of your current switchboard and what's being added during the renovation. This is something we'll discuss during the planning stage. Some homes are completely fine as they are, while others may need upgrades depending on the new appliances, circuits or electrical load being added.

Yes. With major renovations, older houses often need smoke alarms brought up to current regulations. This is all covered during the planning process. We look over everything from top to bottom so nothing gets missed. We do renovations every day, so you're in good hands.

It depends on the size of the renovation and what's being completed. Using a kitchen renovation as an example, the first stage is usually the electrical disconnect, which generally takes one to two hours. The next stage is the electrical pre wire, where we run new cabling, new circuits, appliance wiring, LED strip lighting and anything else required. Depending on the scope, this stage is generally around four to eight hours. The final stage is the installation stage once cabinets, plaster and painting are completed. This is where we install appliances, powerpoints, lighting, switches, pendants, LED strips and complete all final testing. This stage is usually the majority of a day. Most kitchen renovations are generally completed across three visits: electrical disconnect, electrical pre wire, final installation and testing. Full house renovations follow the same process, just on a bigger scale. Bathroom renovations are similar, just smaller and quicker.

Yes. Any electrical work we complete comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. This gets lodged on the same day the work is completed, as required by law.

Yes. We can help with lighting ideas and recommendations. Pendant lights, LED strip lighting, feature lighting, downlights, under cabinet lighting, heated towel rails and more. We'll work in with you to help design something that suits the renovation and the overall look you're trying to achieve.
