Commercial maintenance

Shops, offices and small commercial premises need the same kind of electrical upkeep as a house, with the added pressure of customers and staff relying on it. P4 Electrical does maintenance and repair work for small commercial sites across Logan, Ipswich and the southside of Brisbane, weekdays only.

What the job involves

Commercial maintenance at P4 means small premises: a shopfront, a suite of offices, a consulting room, a small showroom. The work is the practical kind:

Replacing failed light fittings and switching to LED downlights
Adding or moving power points as a fit-out changes
Fixing dead power points, faulty switches and lights that won't come on
Finding the cause of a tripping safety switch or circuit breaker
Outdoor lighting at entries, car parks and rear doors
Small changes when a tenant moves in or out

If you manage a small premises and have a list of electrical jobs that keeps growing, one visit to work through it is usually the easiest way to deal with it.

What P4 doesn't do

It is worth being clear about this up front, so you aren't waiting on a quote for something P4 won't take on:

Industrial sites, factories and heavy plant

P4 suits the shop or office that wants to know who's turning up each time, with Jamie, the licensed owner, looking after the electrical work. It isn't set up for a large site that needs several electricians on the job at once.

Working around trading hours

P4 works Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. For premises that open at 9, an early start can get noisy or disruptive work out of the way before customers arrive. Some jobs mean turning the power off to part of the building for a while, and we'll tell you when we quote so you can plan for it.

When you ask for a quote, it helps to include:

The type of business and the size of the space
A description of each job, with photos if you can
Who will let us in and what time suits you for a start
Whether you rent the premises, and whether the owner or agent needs to approve the work

What you need to know

Electrical work in Queensland must be done by a licensed electrician, and DIY electrical work is illegal. That applies to businesses as much as homes.

What you get

12 months workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on products
An invoice and a certificate for the electrical work

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

Common questions

Can you work outside our trading hours?

Only within Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. After-hours work can't be promised, so plan the work for a weekday.

Do you work on factories or warehouses?

No. P4 doesn't do industrial work. Shops, offices and small commercial premises are the fit.

Can you do an electrical safety audit?

Yes. Jamie does electrical safety audits. Tell us about the premises and what's worrying you, and we'll work out what's involved.

Do you quote from photos?

Photos help. Ask when you call whether we need to see the site before we quote.

Lighting work for a shop or office is much like lighting and power upgrades at home, and faults are handled the same way as home maintenance and repairs. P4 works across Logan, Ipswich and the southside of Brisbane.
