Same Day Trades Electricians in Doubleview
Same Day Trades works through Doubleview most weeks, wiring homes from the settled 1950s and 60s streets to the fresh rebuilds and duplexes going up across the suburb. We take on residential jobs of every size, whether you are in a brick and tile character home, a recently handed over build, or a duplex halfway through a fit out. Our team arrives on time, explains the fault in plain terms, and quotes before any work starts.
Sitting only a few kilometres inland from Scarborough, Doubleview gets enough salt on the breeze to wear at outdoor fittings, so external power points, light fittings, and switchboard parts corrode quicker than they do further east. As part of the wider team of Perth electricians, we pick fittings that stand up to coastal air and know how it shows up in local wiring. From fault finding in a tired original to fresh circuits on a rebuild, we cover Doubleview and the surrounding Stirling suburbs.
Electricians Working Across Doubleview
Doubleview sits in the City of Stirling about 8km north west of the city, a settled pocket of 1950s and 60s brick and tile homes threaded with modern rebuilds and duplexes. Same Day Trades wires all of it. We install, repair, and upgrade home electrics right across the suburb, and our vans carry the common parts to wrap up most jobs on the first visit.
Whether you want one extra outlet in a study, downlights through a renovated open plan living area, or a full board swap in a character home, our licensed Perth electricians take care of it. We book work by the day, hand you a clear price before we lift a tool, and never add a call out fee to come and assess the job. From a small repair to a planned upgrade, the same crew stays with you from the first call to the final test.
Ageing Fuse Boards and Board Upgrades
A good number of Doubleview’s original homes still run a ceramic fuse board built for a 1960s household. Load it with a second fridge, reverse cycle air, an induction cooktop, and a car charger and an old board trips or runs hot. Rewireable fuses also leave circuits without the safety switch protection the current rules call for.
We swap tired boards for a modern enclosure, fit the right run of circuits, and label each one so you can see what feeds what. Our switchboard upgrades lift the board to today’s WA standards and put RCD protection across power and lighting alike. If your board hums, smells hot, or drops out whenever the kettle and toaster run together, arrange a replacement before it lets go.
Do Your RCDs Meet the WA Rules?
The rules in Western Australia call for at least two RCDs guarding every power and lighting circuit, and they have to be fitted before a home is sold or leased. A lot of the older Doubleview stock still has a single RCD or none, which leaves whole circuits open to a live fault that could hand someone a nasty shock.
We test the safety switches on your board, replace any that will not trip on cue, and add RCDs to any circuit left exposed. A working safety switch cuts supply in a fraction of a second the moment it senses current leaking to earth, and that speed is what turns a dangerous fault into a harmless one. If yours keeps dropping out, treat it as a real fault worth tracing, and we hunt down the cause instead of flicking it back on.
More Power Points, Fewer Power Boards
Homes from the 50s and 60s were wired for a handful of appliances, so double adaptors and trailing boards end up hanging off every skirting. Extra outlets through the kitchen, bedrooms, garage, and alfresco share the load properly and clear away the leads snaking across the floor.
Our power point installation runs from standard double outlets and USB points to weatherproof outdoor sockets and dedicated circuits for ovens, split systems, and chargers. With Doubleview only a few kilometres from Scarborough, outdoor and patio points get weatherproof fittings that hold up against salt in the air. We chase cables in neatly, patch behind us, and test every outlet before we pack up.
Switch to LED and Cut the Bill
Pulling out old halogen downlights for LED is one of the fastest ways to drop a Doubleview power bill and take the heat load out of the roof space. Halogens run hot, dim off over time, and blow often, while a modern LED draws a sliver of the power and lasts for years through kitchens, living zones, and hallways.
Our lighting installation takes in downlights, pendants, garden and security lights, sensor floods, and full room fit outs during a renovation. Fittings near the coast need a rating for damp and salty air on eaves and patios so they do not fail after a season or two. We help set the layout, pick a colour temperature that suits the room, and put switches where they make sense for the way you live.
Supply and Fit for Ceiling Fans
Perth summers drag on and the sea breeze does not reach every room, so a ceiling fan pulls its weight across Doubleview bedrooms, living areas, and alfrescos. A well sited fan keeps the air moving, eases the load on the split system, and trims running costs right through the hot stretch from December to March.
Our ceiling fan installation covers new fans, straight replacements, and fans with a built in light, wired to a wall control or a remote. We anchor the mount to the ceiling structure so there is no wobble, and we can run a fresh circuit where none exists. Fans out on a patio get a model rated for coastal exposure so salt in the air does not seize the motor or pit the blades.
Whole Home and Circuit by Circuit Rewires
Some of Doubleview’s oldest homes still carry the cabling they were built with, and rubber or cloth insulation turns brittle and cracks with age. Roof heat and the occasional rodent speed the decline up. Flickering lights, warm switch plates, browning outlets, and constant trips all point to cabling behind the walls that has done its time.
Our house rewiring renews old cabling one circuit at a time or across the whole home, brings in modern safety switches, and lifts everything to current standards. We stage the work to keep power on where we can and keep the mess down. A full rewire is also the moment to add the outlets and circuits a rebuilt or extended home actually runs on.
When a Circuit Keeps Tripping
A dead outlet, half a house with no lights, or a breaker that drops the second you reset it all point to a fault tucked away in the wiring. In homes near the coast, moisture and salt working into outdoor fittings and junction boxes is a common cause that a passing look will never turn up.
Our electrical fault finding traces the problem to its source with proper test gear rather than guesswork, so you pay to fix the actual fault instead of swapping parts on a hunch. We work through circuits, connections, and fittings in order, tell you in plain terms what has failed, and quote the repair before we get on with it.
Round the Clock Emergency Callouts
Power does not fail on a schedule, and a burning smell off the board, sparks at a socket, or half the house going dark on a hot night needs a fast response. A summer storm sweeping in off the coast can drop supply and knock a board about, and standing water near a fitting turns a small fault into a genuine hazard.
Our emergency electrician service picks up Doubleview calls right through the night and makes the scene safe before anything else. We isolate the danger, find the fault, and put in a repair that lasts rather than a patch. If you catch a burning smell, see sparking, or lose power to part of the home, kill it at the board and phone us.
Mains Powered, Interconnected Smoke Alarms
WA rules call for working smoke alarms in every home, and any alarm fitted now has to be mains powered and interconnected so that one going off sets them all off. Battery only units no longer pass when a property changes hands, and plenty of older Doubleview homes are still running them.
We supply and fit mains powered, interconnected photoelectric alarms in the right spots through bedrooms, hallways, and living areas. Interconnection earns its keep overnight, when an alarm at the far end of the house can wake a sleeping household in time. We check placement, wire each unit back to the board, and confirm the whole set triggers as one.
Charging Your EV at Home
More Doubleview households are charging an electric car in the garage, and a standard outlet is slow and hard on an older circuit. A dedicated wall charger fills the battery far quicker and safely, drawing on its own protected circuit instead of sharing power with everything else in the garage.
We fit home EV chargers from the common brands, run the dedicated circuit back to the board, and confirm the board can take the extra load before we start. 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, garage, or carport, and set it up so a daily top up is quick and safe.
Wiring Doubleview’s Older Homes and New Rebuilds
Doubleview is a suburb caught mid change, with settled 50s and 60s brick and tile homes sitting beside fresh rebuilds and duplexes on the same street. The older places often reach us with an ageing board, tired cabling, and outdoor fittings showing the first pitting from salt drifting in off Scarborough a few kilometres west.
On a rebuild or a knock down we handle the full wiring package, from board and circuits to LED lighting, premium fittings, and data. On a character home we sort the ageing board, renew worn circuits, and swap corroded outdoor gear for coastal rated fittings. We match the work to whether we are in a 1960s original or a brand new build, and we choose parts that stand up to the local air.
Licensed Work That Meets WA Standards
Electrical work in Western Australia has to be done by a licensed electrical worker, and that rule is there because unlicensed wiring is dangerous and can void your insurance. Each job we finish meets the wiring rules and state requirements, and we leave the work safe, tidy, and tested rather than hiding rough work out of sight.
We are fully licensed and insured, and we hand over the compliance paperwork you need once the job is done. For landlords and sellers that runs to making sure RCDs and smoke alarms clear the standards required before a home is leased or sold. Not certain where your place stands? We will look it over and set out what needs doing.

Nothing extra creeps onto the bill at the end, and the figure we agree is the figure you pay. Our licensed Perth electricians treat the house with care and tidy up before they leave.
We know Doubleview, from the older streets near Brighton Road to the rebuilds pushing through toward Innaloo and Karrinyup. That local read means quicker diagnosis and fittings picked to suit a coastal setting. Whether it is a single outlet or a full rewire, you are dealing with tradespeople who do the work properly and stand behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the job, the parts, and how long the work runs, so we price each one on its own before starting.

Nothing extra lands on the bill once we finish, so you know the full cost before we get going.
Yes. Any electrical work at your Doubleview home must be handled by a licensed electrical worker under WA law.

We make the scene safe before anything else, then trace and repair the fault properly.
Yes. Western Australian law calls for at least two RCDs, or safety switches, guarding the power and lighting circuits in a home, and they must be fitted before a property is sold or rented. Many older Doubleview homes fall short. We test the ones on your board, replace any that fail to trip, and add RCDs where circuits sit unprotected.
Yes. Alongside houses, we look after rentals, strata complexes, and small commercial sites around Doubleview. For property owners and managers we handle RCD and smoke alarm compliance before a new lease, along with repairs and fit outs. We can bill and report in the format agents and strata managers need, and we quote every job upfront with no call out fee.
Always. We look over the job, explain what is involved in plain terms, and set a firm price before any work begins. There is no charge to come and assess it, and the quoted figure is what you settle. You make the call with the full cost in front of you, so there are no surprises added once the work wraps up.
The regulars are switchboard upgrades on older brick and tile homes, extra power points, and LED downlight swaps. Ceiling fans for the long summers and fault finding on circuits that keep tripping come up often too. On the rebuilds and duplexes we handle full rewires and premium lighting, plus coastal corrosion on outdoor gear thanks to the salt off Scarborough.
Yes. Everyone we send holds a current electrical licence and full insurance, and the work is done to the wiring rules and Western Australian standards. We hand over compliance paperwork once the job is finished, and leave the site tested, tidy, and safe. The tradesperson at your door is qualified for the work in front of them.
