Install ceiling lights & repair broken power point

$300

Newtown, New South Wales

8th Mar 2026

I need an electrician to install: - Two ceiling drop lights removed and switched out with restored antique light fixtures. - - - Ceilings are 3-to-3.5m high. We don't have a ladder. I believe we have all the needed screws etc, but the job will require tools. Fixtures seem to be mounted well and it should be straightforward. - A damaged light switch (4 power points) repaired. Removalists dropped a bed on it and it's partly ripped out of the wall. The hole is old and there's brickwork missing. The power points are still working and it slots back in so it may just need to be reaffixed to the wall properly. Some damage to the plaster around it that also will need repair.

Lovely guy. Did a great job.

Small neon sign need fixing, need electrician

$10

Newtown, New South Wales

7th Dec 2025

This light usually is turned on 24/7 , only about 40cm in size, it stopped working suddenly today. I tried re-tie the wire and even cut out the broken part, still not working, maybe need to replace the transformer but I’m not sure. It’s plugged in, I’ve checked the power point. The green light was on on the other side of the cable so it shouldn’t be the cable or power issue. Please make offer.
