Complete Electrical Solutions for Your Renovation
A successful renovation depends on getting the electrical work right from the start. Randwick Electrical works with homeowners, builders, and architects across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs to deliver complete electrical fit-outs for renovations of all sizes — from a single bathroom upgrade to whole-home rewires and extensions.
Renovation Electrical Services
- Electrical planning and layout — we work from your renovation plans to design the electrical layout including power point placement, lighting positions, switching zones, and data/communications
- First fix (rough-in) wiring — all cabling, conduit, and back boxes installed before plaster and finishes go in. Getting this right avoids expensive changes later
- Second fix (fit-off) — installation of all switches, power points, light fittings, and appliance connections after painting and finishes are complete
- Switchboard upgrades — most renovations require additional circuits. We upgrade boards to accommodate new load requirements
- Kitchen electrical — dedicated circuits for ovens, cooktops, dishwashers, and rangehoods. Power points positioned for your bench layout and appliances
- Bathroom electrical — exhaust fans, heated towel rails, heat lamps, mirror lighting, and power points in compliant locations (Zone requirements)
- Home automation and smart wiring — pre-wiring for smart lighting, motorised blinds, multi-room audio, and home automation systems
- Testing and certification — full testing of all new circuits and a Certificate of Compliance (CCEW) for the completed work
Working with Your Builder
We regularly coordinate with builders, plasterers, and other trades to ensure electrical rough-in happens at the right stage. We understand the sequencing — and we show up when we say we will. No delays from us holding up the rest of the build.
Many of the homes we work on in Randwick, Coogee, and the wider Eastern Suburbs are older properties with original wiring that needs replacing during renovation. We can assess the condition of existing wiring and advise whether a partial upgrade or full rewire is the smartest approach.
Common Renovation Mistakes to Avoid
- Not planning enough power points — add 20% more than you think you'll need. It's cheap during rough-in and expensive to add later
- Forgetting dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances — ovens, cooktops, and air conditioners need their own circuits
- Skipping the switchboard upgrade — adding load to an old board is asking for tripped breakers and potential safety issues
- Not pre-wiring for the future — even if you're not installing smart home features now, running conduit and data cables during rough-in makes future upgrades trivial
