Honest fault finding and reliable repairs done right
No guesswork, no unnecessary work, no jargon. Just a straight-talking, licensed electrician who shows up when he says he will, fixes the problem, and leaves the premises clean.
When something goes wrong with your electrics, it rarely happens at a convenient time. Whether it's a switchboard fault mid-shift, a safety issue flagged in a compliance report, or flickering lights in a home you've been putting off for weeks – electrical faults have a way of making themselves known, and they don't get better on their own.
We’re located in Whitebridge NSW 2290 and have been finding and fixing electrical faults across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie since 2013, and we know how unsettling it can be when something in your home, business, shop, or office doesn't work the way it should.
Our job isn't just to patch the problem – it's to get to the bottom of it, fix it properly, and make sure it doesn't come back.
-
The fault is found, fixed properly, and won't come back – so you can get on with your day without worrying about what's going on behind the walls.
-
No chasing tradespeople, no second-guessing the work, and no nasty surprises – just a clean, resolved job and clear communication from start to finish.
-
Knowing the work was done by a licensed, experienced technician means you can move on with confidence – and recommend Marty to the next person who needs it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-
We handle the full range – safety switches that keep tripping, flickering or intermittent lights, dead power points, circuits that won't stay on, burning smells from switchboards, and everything in between. Whether it's a fault, a repair, a replacement, or a new installation that needs doing right, we're across it.
-
Absolutely. That's exactly what fault finding is. You don't need to know what the problem is – you just need to call us. We'll work it out from there.
-
Yes. We work across residential and commercial properties throughout Newcastle and Lake Macquarie – including strata, real estate agents, and commercial premises that need quick turnaround and proper documentation.
-
Very likely. We use a methodical diagnostic approach to trace the root cause of the problem – not just the symptom. What took other electricians multiple visits, we typically resolve in one. It's what our customers keep telling us in their reviews.
-
Intermittent faults are the trickiest kind, but we've dealt with plenty. We'll systematically rule out causes, document what we find, and walk you through the next steps clearly – so you're never left in the dark.
-
We fix the root cause, not just the symptom. We test thoroughly after every repair, explain what caused the fault in the first place, and flag anything else that could cause problems down the line before we leave.
-

-
For most fault finding jobs, yes – we may need access to different areas of the property and it helps to have someone on hand. We work efficiently to keep the time required to a minimum.
-
Always. We leave your home or business clean and fully operational when we're done. It's just part of how we work.
-
It depends on the fault. If your safety switch won't reset, if you can smell burning, or if you can see scorch marks near a power point or switchboard, switch off the affected circuit and call us straight away. If you're unsure, give us a call and we'll advise you over the phone.
-
Call us straight away. We offer make safe services for immediate electrical hazards – we'll get there and make the site safe fast. We're fully licensed and insured, and we take safety seriously on every job.
-
Yes – always. Every fault finding and repair job is carried out by a fully licensed and insured electrician to current Australian standards. You'll never be left with work that creates a safety or compliance risk.
-
Some can be. Faults that cause overheating, arc faults, or repeated tripping of the safety switch need to be properly diagnosed and resolved. The safety switch doing its job doesn't mean the underlying fault has gone away – it means it needs attention.
-
Most residential fault finding jobs are wrapped up within a couple of hours. We'll give you a realistic estimate when we arrive, once we've had a look at what's going on.
-
For urgent safety issues that can't wait, call Marty directly on 0449 634 794 and we'll do our best to help.
-
Yes. If there's something you want diagnosed and sorted at a time that suits you, we can schedule it in around your day.
-
We start by listening – what's happening, when it started, and what you've noticed. Then we get straight to it, trace the root cause of the fault, fix it on the spot wherever possible, explain what we found, and leave the site clean.
-
Yes. We provide clear documentation of the work carried out – useful for your own records, landlord reports, or insurance purposes. For commercial and strata clients, we include everything you need for compliance and reporting.
-
If we spot something that needs attention while we're on site – ageing wiring, a switchboard that's overdue for an update, a smoke alarm out of compliance – we'll flag it honestly. No pressure, no unnecessary work recommended.
-
We charge fairly for the time and materials involved. We'll give you a clear picture of expected costs before any work begins – no surprises, no hidden charges.
-
Yes. This is because finding a hidden fault takes time, skill, and proper diagnostic equipment. You're paying for the expertise to locate a problem that isn't visible and fix it correctly the first time. That's far less expensive than repeated callouts from someone who can't track it down.
-
Yes. Once we've assessed the situation, we'll walk you through what's involved and what it'll cost before we proceed. Straight talk, upfront pricing – always.
Don't ignore it – get it diagnosed by a sparky you can trust.
One call is all it takes. We show up, track it down, and fix it properly.
