Timeframes, guide prices and common questions

02Why Brora

Four things you can hold us to

Nothing fancy. Just the basics, done every time, on every job, whether it's one light fitting or a whole shed.

  • 01 / People

    Registered electricians on every job

    The person working on your wiring is qualified to do it and to sign it off. No unregistered labour on live work, ever.

  • 02 / Paperwork

    A Certificate of Compliance on every job

    Every job that needs one gets one, and you keep a copy for your records, your insurer and the next owner.

  • 03 / Price

    A fixed quote, in writing

    We price it before we start. If we open a wall and find something nasty, we stop, show you, and price it before touching it.

  • 04 / Manners

    On time, and we text first

    You get a text when we're 30 minutes away. Boots off inside, dust sheets down, offcuts gone when we leave.

04What people say

Turned up, sorted it, tidied up

We'd rather be known for showing up when we said we would than for anything else.

  • Ref 01Sample review

    Our switchboard still had the old ceramic fuses. They swapped it for a new board in a day, labelled every circuit properly and left the certificate on the bench with a note.

    Megan, GoreSwitchboard upgrade
  • Ref 02Sample review

    The quote was clear about what the charger needed and what it didn't. They texted when they were on the way, finished by midday and showed me how to set the charging times.

    Rob, OtataraEV charger install
  • Ref 03Sample review

    The vat pump tripped out at 4 am in the middle of calving. They were in the shed within the hour, found a cooked cable and had us milking again before the tanker came.
