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.

Fix leak from electric water heater

$250

Surry Hills, New South Wales

20th Dec 2025

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.

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.
