Electrician in Corrimal

The full details for Corrimal

The northern suburbs of Wollongong grew up around coal mining, and Corrimal still carries that history. The main street has its old shopfronts, the beach and Towradgi Creek are a short walk away, and many of the houses started life as miners' cottages, later added to by each new owner. These days Corrimal is popular with young families and renovators who like the location and the character.

Character homes need a careful approach

Older weatherboard and fibro homes in Corrimal can hide all sorts of electrical history. Over decades, wiring gets added, extended and repaired by different hands. In a single house we might find:

• Original cabling with perished insulation in the roof space
• Old switchboards with rewireable fuses and no safety switches
• Power points added off lighting circuits
• Metal light fittings that are not properly earthed

None of that is unusual, and none of it means you need to panic. It does mean the house deserves a proper look. Kalani will inspect the board and the key circuits and then explain what he found in plain language, ranked by what matters most.

Rewiring for a renovation

If you are renovating, the best time to sort out old wiring is while the walls and ceilings are open. A rewire during a renovation is cleaner, quicker and less disruptive than doing it later. Customers have told us we rewired their house for a renovation and kept everything on track with the builder. We also do overflow work for builders and other tradies, so we are used to fitting in with a building schedule.

Our renovation and new home electrical work includes planning power and lighting layouts, kitchen circuits and switchboard upgrades together, so the whole job makes sense.

Small jobs are welcome too

Not every Corrimal job is a big reno. We are just as happy to:

• Add safety switches to an older board
• Replace old fittings with efficient LED lighting
• Install hard wired or interconnected smoke alarms
• Fix a light or power point that has stopped working

Near the beach

Corrimal is close enough to the ocean for salt air to affect outdoor fittings. If your outside lights are rusting or the outdoor power point has seen better days, replacing them with suitable fittings is a quick fix that prevents bigger problems. The same goes for the old bayonet light on the front porch that has been rusting quietly for twenty years. A new fitting suited to coastal air, a sensor if you want one, and the job is done.

Flowstate Electrical Co is Kalani's business, and you deal with him from start to finish. Customers say he is on time, tidy and explains everything clearly.

We also work in nearby Thirroul and down in Wollongong.
