When you need a sparky you can actually trust.

Most of the calls I get are from people who got ghosted by the last electrician – quoted a job that never quite got started, or “almost finished” weeks ago. I do it the old-fashioned way: turn up when I say I will, quote fairly, do the work properly, and clean up after myself. If something’s not right, I come back and fix it. No call centres, no subbies, no runaround.

What I Do Around the House

01

Switchboard Upgrades

Old ceramic fuses or an overloaded board not keeping up with modern loads? Upgrade to a compliant switchboard with RCBO protection on every circuit.

02

LED Lighting & Lighting Design

New downlights, feature lighting, outdoor lighting, or full lighting redesign. Energy-efficient, properly zoned, and on separate switches where they should be.

03

Ceiling Fans & Exhaust Fans

New ceiling fan install, replacement of an existing unit, or bathroom/kitchen exhaust fan. Properly mounted, properly balanced, and properly switched.

04

Power Points, USB & Data

Add a power point where you need one, upgrade to USB-C outlets, or run data cabling for home offices and entertainment setups.

05

Fault Finding & Repairs

Tripping safety switch, dead circuit, flickering lights, or a power point that doesn't work. Diagnose the cause, fix the actual problem, not a temporary patch.

06

Renovations & New Builds

Full electrical fit-out for a renovation, extension, or new build. Working with your builder or directly with you. Proper plans, proper circuits, no shortcuts.

From first call to job done

Three steps, no mucking around.

Quote

Quick phone chat first to understand the job, then I come out, look at what's involved, and give you a fixed-price written quote. Smaller jobs I can often quote over the phone from a photo and a description.
Step 01

Do the work

Most residential jobs done in a single visit - usually 2–4 hours. Bigger jobs (full rewire, large renovation) booked in over a day or two. Walls patched if I cut into them, switchboard labelled, everything left clean.
Step 02

Sign off

You get the QLD Electrical Safety Certificate, a clear invoice, and the manufacturer's warranty paperwork if any fittings were supplied. Anything plays up in the first 12 months, I come back at no charge.
Step 03
SWITCHBOARD FIRST, EVERY TIME

We check the switchboard before we touch anything

A 30-year-old ceramic-fuse board can’t safely handle a modern home’s load – aircon, induction cooktops, multiple fridges, home offices, EV chargers. Before any new install or upgrade, I check your existing switchboard capacity, earthing, and RCBO protection. If something needs bringing up to standard first, you’ll know upfront. No “we’ll worry about that later” surprises.

ONE BLOKE, START TO FINISH

You deal with me, not a call centre.

When you call INEX, you get me. When I quote, I quote. When I install, I install. No sales rep on the phone, no apprentice unsupervised on the day, no “we’ll send someone out” with no name attached. It means I can’t always pick up – but it also means the person who shows up already knows your job.
