Recently finished a small reno and need.... Aircon control pad reconnected. The cable will need to be extended slight and then conduit used, as it will now sit on a brick wall. I need a new power point installed on wall in third photo. Again this will be on a brick wall . So will just require conduit attached to the wall. You can see the man hole in the picture. Lastly i need a light switch reinstalled. The cable is in the ceiling but will most likely again require some conduit to attache to brick wall. All the work is in a small area of the roof.

Replace faulty pull-cord light switch (electrician)

$100

Fitzroy North VIC, Australia

18th Jan 2026

One of two pull-cord pendant lights has stopped working — the pull string no longer clicks or switches the light on. House is older (Fitzroy North). Looking for a like-for-like replacement of the pull-cord switch mechanism to make the light functional. No changes to wiring or layout required. Located in Fitzroy North. Flexible on timing. Please quote for parts and labour. Small, quick job — happy to fit in around another nearby job if convenient.

Tim was great to work with. Clear and upfront communication, arrived as scheduled, and explained the issue and options before proceeding. He replaced the faulty pull-cord switch efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. Professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with — would happily recommend.
