Electrician
$300
Surry Hills NSW, Australia
23rd Jan 2026
I need an electrician who is able to rewire old fashioned light fittings so that pendant lights with shades are able to be attached. I am also wanting another wall light to be fitted into the alcove of the front door. Would also be keen to take away fluorescent light in kitchen to be replaced by track or spot lighting on your recommendation. Not sure if this can be done? All electrical wires are thick and unable to fit modern pendants, that are too heavy for the existing wiring system. Would need a totally different updated wiring to be able to attach pendant style lighting. There are 6 lights plus one non existent. Would want to commence work in a few days - and get some advice on what pendants and lights would work beforehand.
Relocate Power Switch Board and NBN box
$2,000
Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia
17th Jan 2026
Switchboard, NBN and cabinet / rack Relocate the existing in-unit distribution board (switchboard) from its current position above the fridge into the cabinet immediately to the left, so that cabinet becomes the designated control space. The individual meter and main switch in the common area are not being altered. The existing switchboard is currently in its own cabinet above the fridge, with minimal ventilation. When it is relocated into the adjacent cabinet with the network rack, it would ideally be in its own compartment above the rack. ACRS cabling licence. I would like to: Fit a network rack into this cabinet; Recess/push the existing NBN box further back into the wall if possible. Relocate existing wall ethernet plate into the cabinet so that services present cleanly to the rack/control space. Supply and install additional GPOs and, if required, a dedicated circuit within the cabinet to power rack equipment (router, switches, NAS, UPS, etc.), and confirm that clearances and ventilation will be compliant once the switchboard is. relocated. I am planning for the rack section of the cabinetry to have ventilation fans in or on the cabinet door (similar to AV/rack cooling products). Please allow for suitable power within the cabinet for these fans and advise on any requirements or limitations regarding ventilation openings given the presence of the switchboard.

The NBN cable does not have a proper cap on it, so the wire is exposed and comes out of the port easily. Please supply the proper cap and install on the cable, ensuring it plugs into the NBN port.
Duojia was quick to complete the task, and I would recommend to others. Thank you Duojia!

Fix leak from electric water heater
$250
Surry Hills, New South Wales

I need a plumber to fix a leaking hot water tank. I tightened the nut but it keeps leaking. Might need to reseal the joint. It is a steady leak (approx. 1 litre every few hours) coming from a joint. It is constant and does not depend on taps being turned on. Location: The water tank is in the attic. Access is easy via a standard door in the wall. Materials: Please include the cost of materials (solder, flux, or replacement couplings) in your total quote. Parking: Free parking is available on-site. Timing: Must be fixed before Christmas. Availability: I am flexible and can meet any time between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM any day this week. Note: I am looking for a reliable, permanent fix. If successful, I'll reach out to you in the future if I have more plumbing work.
Haissm explained the problem and described how to fix it in a great detail.

Upgrades recording studio for electrical and installation work.

Surry Hills, New South Wales
3rd Dec 2025
Hi have a fair few electrical related projects coming up in our music recording studio in Surry Hills One is urgent but simple and then some larger stuff which we are now mapping out and want to get in some quotes and assess as some involve electrical but also some basic heavy lifting and mounting of large ceiling panels with lighting etc Urgent task 1 Looking to replace our air conditioning manual switch with an automatic timed switch. Ideally would love a suggestion as to best option. Wifi capability would be great. Or if not sure, we have a few suggestions and will just need you to install it This is urgent BUT we also have a bigger project for the right tradey. Tasks ( longer term) We’re planning a few upgrades to our recording studio space in Surry Hills and would like a quote for electrical and installation work. The scope mainly involves new power points, lighting adjustments, and mounting equipment. Ideally, someone who can handle both electrical work and installation of heavy roof/wall-mounted materials. The panels to be installed on the roof are going in to gyprock, there are studs which need to be located and carefully drilled in to, so someone with experience in this area is preferred. We’d suggest a site visit beforehand so we can walk you through the space and finalise a plan to complete everything efficiently. Look forward to hearing from you asap Joe

I need an electrician to apply Promaseal A Acrylic Sealant (available from Reece) to a small hole in some fyrchek.

I’m looking to change my oven from gas to electric and was told that the power breaker will need a a new outlet and wiring to do this. Currently the electrical box is in a bedroom on the same level and is about 5m away from where the oven is. I also need Strata approval for this so will need a licenced electrician with the usual paperwork.
