Nathaniel provided exceptional, professionaland quality service. Thank you I couldn’t recommend Nathaniel more highly. We needed to update some older light fittings. Nathaniel took care and diligence to ensure the right solution. I appreciated his expertise and insights into what was best.

Had a great experience with Whitelock Electrical. Nathaniel made a great effort to accommodate us at short notice, sorted and repaired the issue on the first visit, clearly explained what was causing the problem, and gave us some great advice to make sure that we avoided it happening again. He was upfront about the costs, arrived when he said he would, was polite and respectful of our home, and provided A+ customer service. Would happily and confidently recommend

Great company to deal with. Very professional in their communications, service delivery and after care. They worked on my kitchen renovation which required a lot of challenging work it being an older building. Nathaniel and his team worked with me from the start to realize my vision and find solutions for difficult problems and delivered on that vision. Highly recommended.

Job well done! although the additional power point was more costly than I expected, Andrew.explained the reasons why clearly and pointed out updates were necessary to my ageing fuse box. Will definitely use Whitelock again in the future.

Nathaniel has been my go-to electrician since I moved into my apartment 2.5 years ago, and I couldn’t recommend him and his team more highly. He is incredibly communicative, professional, and meticulous in his work.His pricing is competitive—sometimes even more affordable than others—but honestly, the peace of mind that comes with hiring someone as trustworthy, transparent, and efficient as Nathaniel is worth every penny.Most recently, I had a big job done: two air conditioners installed and one removed. Andrew and Sam handled the installation flawlessly. They were not only skilled and efficient but also genuinely kind and considerate. They took great care in keeping the space as clean as possible—no easy task with all the brick dust!If you need an electrician, don’t hesitate—Nathaniel and his team are the best in the business. I’ve already recommended them to my neighbors, and they’ll be my first call for any future work!

We bought a ceiling fan from Beacon lighting and needed it installed and used the recommended electrician - Whitelock Electrical. What a fabulous decision! The entire process was smooth and absolutely a 5-star installation. Andrew arrived on time, installed the fan without needing to cut extra holes in the ceiling, saving extra costs for a plasterer and painter. He also checked our switchboard and upgraded an out-of-date safety switch. We could not be happier! Thanks for the great service.

What an amazing team Whitelock Electrical are. I needed a new ceiling fan installed and a being top floor apartment with no roof access, it was not going to be a straightforward job.I was contacted by Nathaniel who took the time to understand my requirements and expectations. I was so impressed with the online booking system they use which provided me with an upfront quote including options, capability statement and constant updates on my booking time. It was very innovative and gave me complete confidence as a customer. Game changer!Werner arrived on time and was such a pleasure to deal with. He was very skilled and with extremely limited access to existing walls and roof space, he installed my fan without leaving plaster to repatch and paint.I couldn’t have been happier with the end result.Working in the construction industry myself I appreciate how hard it can be to find reliable, honest and skilled tradesmen but I really hit the jackpot with this company, they really take pride in what they do.Well done guys it was such an easy and transparent process for me start to finish and you should be proud of the great team you have.I highly recommend this company for any electrical work you need.

I've used Whitelock Electrical a number of times over the years and always found the service to be exceptional. This time around Nathaniel spent considerable time on the phone with me working out the best solution both short and long term.Werner provided excellent service on the day (clearly Nathaniel has hired a team to match his own work ethic). Comms were clear all the way through with regular updates and no unexpected charges.I would not hesitate to recommend Whitelock Electrical if you are looking for a sparky to take care of your best interests.

I cannot recommend Whitelock Electrical highly enough. We recently moved into an Art Deco apartment. I had a number of electricians come to quote on installing air conditioning, exhaust fans, additional power points and ceiling.None of these things were going to be easy in an older apartment and in the end only Nathaniel gave me the confidence that he and his team could do the job. And indeed they did. They were able to discretely run cable which limited the need for excessive conduit and their quality of work and advice on AC and other matters was and is exceptional. Further Whitelock communications were fantastic and they proved to be extremely reliable in all that they did. Their pricing was also competitive. And finally Nathaniel, Andrew and Werner and all very genuine people.

Nathaniel is a true professional and has a through understanding of the electrical trade. He is visibly passionate about it. This is just what you need before the work starts as you know he will take care. He understood excitably what we wanted and was very patient and checked-in with us before each stage of repair, relocation or installation. He is precise when measuring and installing. Nathaniel is also extremely clean and left hardly any mess behind. Well priced too. Full confidence in Nathaniel doing the work to expectation and will call on him again.And have called in Nathaniel and team another three times and as recently as today 6/9/24. Just don’t have to worry about the work being done professionally and properly. Whitelock communicate throughout the process. Won’t go to another electrician after such good service over 4 visits now.
