Based in Toowong, Brisbane, Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical HVAC Services Pty Ltd holds Electrical Contractor Licence 91748 and QBCC licence 15409163. Our work covers South East Queensland, including Darra in Brisbane, about 10 km away.
What we do in Darra
Post-war highsets in Darra were wired for a few lights and power points, not for today’s kitchens, air conditioners and home offices. When the undercroft is built in, lighting, power and smoke alarms are added so the new rooms meet current rules. Upgrading the switchboard with RCD safety switches is often the first step before adding new circuits.
Many Darra calls start with a simple question, such as why a safety switch trips at night, and end with a straightforward repair.
