Norwood is a short, easy run from my Vale Park workshop — close enough that a Norwood job never eats a chunk of the day the way a far-side-of-Adelaide job does.
Norwood mixes sandstone villas and workers' cottages from the 1900s-1920s with the busy commercial strip of The Parade, plus a growing run of apartment blocks along Magill Road. That's three different kinds of electrical work in one suburb: heritage rewiring and switchboard upgrades in the character homes, shopfront and hospitality fit-outs along The Parade, and switchboard and power-point work in the newer apartments. A lot of Norwood housing is also rented out, so rental compliance and safety inspections come up regularly too.
I quote every job properly before touching anything, and I'm the one who turns up to do it, from the first look to the final test. Ring 0468 008 822 to talk through what's going on at your place.
The mix of housing and shopfronts here means a wide spread of work:
A property manager on Colliver Street asked me to carry out a pool electrical safety inspection after some concerns were raised about earthing and bonding around the pool. I tested the equipotential bonding, earth continuity and RCD operation, and checked for stray voltage between the pool water and the surrounding surfaces — the full scope required under the AS/NZS 3000 pool safety clauses. That kind of check is easy to skip for years on an established pool, and it's exactly the sort of fault that won't show itself until something goes wrong.
On Queen Street I did a rental safety inspection on a property built in 1979 ahead of a new tenancy — checking the smoke alarm, replacing a bathroom light globe, testing the safety switch and looking over the switchboard for signs of overloading. Norwood has a lot of long-held rental stock from that era, and a proper safety check before a new tenant moves in is one of the more useful things an agent can arrange.
A few of Marcus's recent installs — the finished article matters as much as the quote.
Marcus films real jobs and callouts on the tools — no actors, no stock footage. This is what the work actually looks like.
I personally handle every job from quote to completion. No subcontractors, no apprentices unsupervised. When you call, you speak to me. When I arrive, it's me doing the work.

Norwood's older sandstone villas and cottages can still be running on original ceramic-fuse boards with no safety switch, and long-held rental properties sometimes have switchboards that haven't been looked at in years. If the power's out, a safety switch won't reset, or something smells hot, that's an emergency call — not a wait-till-Monday job.

It's legal to leave it in place, but it means no safety switch (RCD) protection, which is the real gap. Norwood's sandstone villas and 1900s-1920s cottages commonly still carry their original board. I can assess it and quote a straightforward upgrade to a modern RCBO switchboard.
Yes. With so many Norwood properties rented out, I regularly do rental safety inspections for agents and landlords - smoke alarm checks, safety switch testing and looking over the switchboard for overloading, with a written report.
Yes. Pool electrical safety inspections cover equipotential bonding, earth continuity and RCD operation around the pool area, checked against the AS/NZS 3000 pool safety requirements. It's worth having done whenever a pool changes hands or hasn't been checked in years.
Usually, though it depends on the switchboard and whether parking is allocated with its own supply. I can look at what the building offers and quote a dedicated charging circuit where it's achievable.
