Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Bilgola Plateau. We work on older beach houses and weekenders, many timber-framed and set on steep or stepped blocks — the faults, switchboards, lighting and EV charging that come with them.
Up on the plateau the housing is mostly 1960s and 70s brick and timber on generous blocks, well back from the salt. The common jobs here are the ones that come with a house of that age still in original condition: an undersized board, no safety switch on lighting, and outdoor circuits added later for a pool or a shed.
Salt exposure and split-level layouts are the two things that make electrical work here different. Weatherproof-rated fittings are not optional on this part of the coast, and a cheap external GPO will be failing inside a couple of winters.

No power, tripping circuits, burning smells, hot switches. We find the cause rather than replacing parts until it stops.
Safety switches, circuit protection and a board that matches what the house actually runs today. See switchboard upgrades →

Extra power points, safety switches and compliant interconnected smoke alarms.
Steep driveways and detached garages usually mean a longer sub-main run for an EV charger, which is worth pricing properly rather than guessing. Price an EV charger →
Kitchens, bathrooms and additions — planned so the board and the circuits keep up with the new load.
