Licensed electrician to fix kitchen light switch

$120

Woolloomooloo NSW 2011, Australia

18th Oct 2026

Looking for a licensed electrician to fix my kitchen light switch. The standard on/off wall switch has stopped working. The kitchen lights are stuck on and flicking the switch does nothing. There's no heat, buzzing or burning smell, but I'd like it sorted soon. Please find the fault and replace the switch if that's the problem, using a switch that matches the existing one, and test the lights afterwards. If it turns out to be the wiring rather than the switch, let me know what's involved before doing any extra work. It needs to be done before Thursday morning, as I have a cleaner coming then. It's an apartment in Woolloomooloo with a lift, and you can park in the visitor/loading bay. Please include the part in your offer and confirm you hold a current NSW electrical licence.
