I’m looking for a licensed electrician to replace a damaged ceiling light fitting in my apartment. The old globe blew and damaged the existing socket/fitting. It’s an older bayonet-style fitting, and I’d like to replace it with a more modern Edison screw fitting so I can use a normal globe again.

Lower a 46kg heat pump dryer down (straps?) one floor via a void
$100
Brunswick East VIC, Australia
4th Apr 2026
Lower a 46kg heat pump dryer down one floor via a void on ropes/straps (you provide) and install on shelf in laundry. Laundry is close to staircase/void on lower floor. Dryer will sit on hip height shelf. No drilling required. Must fix drainage hose (provided) that will drain into laundry sink next to dryer. I think this is definitely a two person job. We have had larger/heavier items lowered through the void by removalists when we moved in so issues with the dryer fitting. Just need two strong people with appropriate ropes/straps. The dryer is already here and unboxed. Pic 1 shows void next to stairs from above and pic 2 is dryer currently resting in front of railing in front of void.

Ceiling light installation

Toorak VIC 3142, Australia

Licensed electrician required to install a ceiling light. This is a straightforward job involving the replacement of ONE light fitting only (a single Lexi Lighting fixture with multiple arms, 6 x E27). Existing wiring is already in place, and I will provide the mounting bracket, instructions, and all required bulbs. The job may involve some minor drilling into the ceiling to secure the new bracket. Scope includes removing the existing fitting, installing and mounting the new light, connecting the wiring, and testing to ensure everything is working properly. Please confirm you are a licensed electrician when quoting. If the job is done well, there is potential for further work in the future. Note: I have a ladder available.
Super prompt and professional. Highly recommend Matt.
