Licensed electrician needed to add 4 power points in apartment

$600

Waterloo, New South Wales

3rd Oct 2026

Hi, I need a licensed electrician to add 4 extra power points in my apartment. I’ve attached a floor plan: existing power points are marked in blue, and the spots where I’d like new ones added are marked in red, if possible. They’re in a few different rooms, including bathrooms. There are existing power points close to most of the new locations, so I’m hoping it may be possible to connect from those, but you’d need to inspect and confirm. Most of the walls are probably plasterboard, but the bathrooms have tiled walls, so I’m looking for the neatest possible approach. The work needs to be done cleanly, with no damage to the walls or bathroom tiles if possible. I’m looking for a quote and advice on the best way to do this. Please only respond if you are a licensed electrician. Please include your NSW electrical licence number in your offer and confirm that you can provide a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) after completion.
