Your Local Wallsend Electrician

Need an electrician in Wallsend? We're a Jesmond-based crew just up the road, and we're in Wallsend most weeks. Ben and the team handle switchboard upgrades, safety switches, fault finding, extra power points, LED downlights and ceiling fans — the everyday electrical work that keeps an older home safe and working.
Wallsend has a lot of older fibro and weatherboard homes, and that means plenty of ageing wiring and tired old fuse boxes. If your board still runs ceramic fuses or trips for no clear reason, that's exactly the sort of thing we sort. We'll have a look, give you the honest call on repair versus upgrade, and quote it over the phone.
Fully insured, licensed, and local — you get tidy work, straight advice, and a crew that turns up when we say we will. Give us a call and we'll get it sorted.
Electrical work around Wallsend — what we see locally
Wallsend's older fibro and weatherboard housing stock throws up a particular set of electrical jobs. Here's what actually comes up when we're out that way.
Old ceramic-fuse boards and rewires
A good chunk of Wallsend's older homes still have the original fuse box with ceramic fuses and no safety switches — well past their day. We upgrade these boards to a modern one with proper RCD protection, and where the wiring behind it has had it, we sort a rewire in stages so it's safe without pulling the whole house apart.
Ageing wiring behind tired power points
In the older weatherboard homes the wiring feeding the power points can be brittle rubber or early cabling that's been in the wall a very long time. Scorched outlets, warm switches and circuits that drop out are the tells — we find the fault and put it right rather than just patching over it.
Load creep on undersized old circuits
Homes built for a couple of appliances are now running air-con, dryers, dishwashers and a garage full of gear off circuits that were never sized for it. We check the load, add dedicated circuits where they're needed and stop the whole run of power points running off one tired old line.
