I had this work done over a year ago and at the time I would have written a raving review. Very professional, prompt, friendly, did the work - no issues. I simply forgot to write a review at the time. Fast forward to now where we had an electrician over yesterday to upgrade our main switchboard he discovered all the lights and new power points were all connected to the one switch / badly wired (I am no sparky to explain better). I don't know the details but it sounded like corners were cut.

Tradesperson reply
"Hi Kelly - we've pride ourselves on exceptional workmanship It sounds like your new electrician has run into some issues with RCD faults (combined neutral or similar) These are common for older homes like yours when RCD protection is added. The wiring faults may have been caused by the original electricians (original wiring), but certainly not by the wiring which we completed If you have time please send through the electricians details so I can make contact!"
