Belmont faults have hidden behind a roofing screw, a broken earth wire and a fan wired through a wall.
A roofing screw had gone through the lighting cable, with a second fault in the extension. We repaired both and put the lights on new safety switches.
Fault finding >
The metal light's earth wire was broken, which is likely why the safety switch never tripped. We fitted a new double-insulated light and flagged the earth fault.
Outdoor lighting >
A ceiling fan had been hardwired through a wall. We fitted a new fan on a proper plug, and flagged the circuits with no safety switch.
Exhaust fans >Tell us what is going on. We ring you back, usually the same day.
We connected an existing shed feed, then fitted power points, an LED batten, an office fan with a light and a sensor light outside.
Power points >
Only one side of a laundry double power point worked. We replaced it, and flagged that most of the circuits had no safety switch.
Switchboard upgrades >
Lighting faults, wet sensor lights and shed power.

The earth wire may be broken. At one Belmont North home the wet metal light's earth was open circuit, which is likely why it never tripped. Leave it off and call us.
Yes. We connected power to one Belmont shed and fitted power points, an LED light and a sensor light outside.
