Same Day Trades Electricians in Crawley
Crawley sits on the Swan River at Matilda Bay, about five kilometres south west of the city, wrapped around the University of WA and the big hospitals at the QEII site. The housing is a mix of older character homes on leafy streets, riverside apartment blocks, and rooms let to students and hospital staff. Same Day Trades works across all of it, from period cottages that need tired wiring sorted to strata units and rental properties. We arrive on time, explain the fault in plain terms, and price the work before we begin.
Sitting close to the river brings its own quirks, with humidity working into older fittings and boards while apartment living adds strata rules and shared supply into the mix. As part of the wider team of Perth electricians, we know how Crawley homes are wired and what tends to go wrong in period and riverside properties. From a switchboard upgrade in a character home to compliance work in a student rental, we cover Crawley and the surrounding western suburbs.
Electricians Serving Crawley
Crawley packs a lot of variety into a small riverside pocket, from grand old character homes near the water to apartment blocks and shared houses full of students and hospital staff. Same Day Trades looks after every one of them. We install, repair, and upgrade wiring right across the suburb, and our vans carry the common parts to wrap up most jobs on the first visit.
Need one extra outlet in a home office, fresh downlights through a renovated kitchen, or a full board swap in an ageing property? Our licensed Perth electricians handle the lot. We schedule jobs by the day, hand you a clear price before starting, and never add a call out fee to come and assess the work. From a quick repair to a planned upgrade, the same crew sees it through from your first call to the final test.
Switchboard Replacements and Fixes
Many of Crawley’s older character homes still run a ceramic fuse board that predates modern living. Stack on a second fridge, reverse cycle air, an induction cooktop, and a car charger, and a dated board trips over and over or runs hot. Rewireable fuses also leave circuits without the safety switch protection the rules now demand.
Swapping a tired board for a modern enclosure, we fit the right number of circuits and label each one clearly. Our switchboard upgrades lift the board to current WA standards and spread RCD protection over both power and lighting. If your board hums, smells hot, or drops out whenever the kettle and toaster run together, arrange a replacement before it gives up.
Keeping Circuits RCD Protected
Western Australian law calls for at least two RCDs guarding the power and lighting circuits in every home, and they have to be fitted before a property is sold or leased. Plenty of older Crawley houses run a single RCD or none at all, which leaves whole circuits exposed to a live fault that could deliver a serious shock.
We test the safety switches already on your board, replace any that fail to trip, and add extra RCDs wherever circuits sit unprotected. A working safety switch cuts the power within a fraction of a second when it senses current leaking to earth, which often marks the line between a harmless jolt and a hospital trip. If yours keeps dropping out, that usually signals a real fault worth tracing, and we find the cause rather than resetting and hoping.
Extra Outlets Where You Need Them
Period Crawley homes were wired for a handful of appliances, so double adaptors and power boards end up dangling from every skirting. Adding outlets in the kitchen, bedrooms, study, and outdoors eases the strain on tired circuits and clears the trip hazard of leads snaking across the floor.
Our power point installation covers standard double outlets, USB points, weatherproof sockets for the patio, and dedicated circuits for ovens, split systems, and car chargers. Riverside properties near Matilda Bay get outdoor points with weatherproof fittings that shrug off damp air. We chase cables neatly, patch behind us, and test each outlet before we pack up.
Switching to LED Lighting
Trading old halogen downlights for LED is one of the fastest ways to trim a Crawley power bill and drop the heat sitting in the ceiling. Halogens run hot, dim with age, and blow often, while modern LEDs sip a fraction of the power and last for years across kitchens, living rooms, and hallways.
Our lighting installation takes in downlights, pendants, garden and security lights, sensor floods, and whole room fit outs during a renovation. Fittings near the river need to be rated for damp air on eaves and balconies so they do not fail after a season or two. We help you map the layout, dial in the colour temperature, and place switches where they suit the way each room is actually used.
Ceiling Fan Fitting and Wiring
Crawley summers stretch on and the river breeze does not reach every room, so ceiling fans pull their weight in local bedrooms, living areas, and balconies. A well placed fan keeps air moving, takes load off the split system, and trims running costs through the sticky months from December to March.
Our ceiling fan installation spans new fans, straight replacements, and fans with built in lights, wired to a wall switch or remote. We anchor the mount firmly to the ceiling structure so there is no wobble, and can run a fresh circuit where none exists. Balcony and alfresco fans on riverside units get models rated for damp exposure so the motor does not seize before its time.
Full and Partial House Rewires
Some of the oldest homes around Crawley and Matilda Bay still carry cabling laid decades ago, and rubber or cloth insulation turns brittle and cracks with time. River humidity, roof heat, and the occasional rodent all hurry the decline. Flickering lights, warm switches, browning outlets, and constant trips all hint the wiring behind the plaster has run its course.
Our house rewiring renews old cabling circuit by circuit or across the entire home, adds modern safety switches, and brings the lot up to current standards. We stage the work to keep power running where possible and hold disruption to a minimum. A full rewire is also the moment to add the extra outlets and circuits a modern household leans on.
Diagnosing Wiring Problems
A dead outlet, half a home without lights, or a breaker that trips the instant you reset it all point to a fault tucked away in the wiring. In riverside homes, moisture creeping into outdoor fittings and junction boxes is a frequent offender that a quick look will never turn up.
Our electrical fault finding traces the problem to its source with proper test gear instead of guesswork, so you pay to fix the real fault rather than swapping parts at random. We work through circuits, connections, and fittings in order, tell you straight what has failed, and quote the repair before carrying it out.
Urgent Electrical Help Any Hour
Power does not fail on a schedule, and a burning smell at the board, sparks at an outlet, or half the house going dark on a warm night needs a fast response. Storms sweeping up the river can knock out supply and damage boards, while standing water near fittings turns a small fault into a genuine hazard.
Our emergency electrician service takes Crawley calls right through the night, on weekends and public holidays alike, and makes the scene safe before anything else. We isolate the danger, pin down the fault, and carry out a repair that lasts rather than a quick patch. If you smell burning, see sparking, or lose power to part of the home, switch off at the board and phone us.
Interconnected Smoke Alarm Fitting
Working smoke alarms are required in every WA home under state rules, and any alarm fitted now must be mains powered and interconnected so that one triggering sets them all off. Battery only units no longer pass when a property changes hands, and a fair share of older Crawley homes and rentals still rely on them.
Mains powered, interconnected photoelectric alarms go in at the right points across bedrooms, hallways, and living areas. Interconnection counts most overnight, when an alarm at the far end of the house can rouse a sleeping household early. We check placement, wire each unit back to the board, and confirm every alarm sounds together before we leave.
EV Wall Charger Installation
More Crawley households are charging an electric car at home, and a standard outlet is slow and tough on an older circuit. A dedicated wall charger tops up the battery far quicker and more safely, drawing on its own protected circuit rather than sharing supply with the rest of the garage or carport.
We fit home EV chargers from the common brands, run the dedicated circuit back to the board, and confirm the board can carry the extra load before starting. Where an older board is already stretched, we flag an upgrade first so the charger runs without tripping. We site the unit to suit your driveway or car space and set it up so daily charging stays quick and safe.
Electrical Work for Riverside and Apartment Crawley Homes
Living beside the Swan looks idyllic and works your electrics hard. Damp river air seeps into outdoor power points, light fittings, and switchboard components on older properties near Matilda Bay, and period homes on the leafy streets feel it most. Corroded terminals and tired earthing are things we come across on local jobs often.
Apartment and strata work brings its own puzzles, from shared supply and metering to rules on what can be altered in a common wall. We handle unit rewires, fault finding, and fit outs, and we sort compliance in student and staff rentals before a new lease. Whether it is a character home or a riverside flat, we match the work to the age and setting of your property.
Staying Compliant with WA Rules
In Western Australia, electrical work is restricted by law to licensed electrical workers, and with good cause, since unlicensed wiring is dangerous and can void your insurance. Each job we take on meets the wiring rules and state requirements, and we leave the work safe, tidy, and fully tested rather than hiding shortcuts behind the plaster.
We are fully licensed and insured, and we hand over the compliance paperwork you need once the work is finished. For landlords and sellers, that covers making sure RCDs and smoke alarms meet the standard required before a property is leased or sold. If you are uncertain where your place stands, we will run through it and spell out what is required.

We know Crawley well, from the character streets near UWA to the riverside apartments and the busy hospital precinct.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on the job, the parts it needs, and how long it takes, so we price each one on its own before starting.

Yes. In Western Australia, only a licensed electrical worker may legally carry out electrical work. Unlicensed wiring is illegal, unsafe, and can void your home insurance if it causes damage.

Yes. Our emergency electricians take Crawley calls right through the night, on weekends and public holidays too.

We make it safe on arrival, then locate and repair the fault.
Yes. Western Australian law requires at least two RCDs, or safety switches, protecting the power and lighting circuits in a home, and they must be fitted before a property is sold or rented. Many older Crawley homes fall short of that. We test the ones already on your board and add extra RCDs wherever circuits are left unprotected.
Yes. Alongside houses, we look after apartments, strata complexes, and rental properties across Crawley, which suits a suburb full of student and staff accommodation. For landlords and property managers we take care of RCD and smoke alarm compliance before a new tenancy, along with repairs and fit outs. We bill and report the way agents and strata managers prefer, with every job quoted upfront.
Always. We look over the job, explain what is involved in plain terms, and give you a firm price before any work begins. There is no call out fee to come and look, and the quoted figure is what you pay. You decide whether to proceed once the full cost is laid out in front of you.
The regulars are switchboard upgrades on older character homes, extra power points and LED downlights, ceiling fans for the long summers, and fault finding when a circuit keeps tripping. Humidity working into outdoor fittings near the river, plus safety switch and smoke alarm upgrades for sales and leases, also come up often across local properties.
Yes. Each electrician we bring in is fully licensed and insured, and the work satisfies the wiring rules and Western Australian standards.
