Why Westcoast

A small team with a founder on every job.

Matthew Wellstead and Mark Porges founded and run Westcoast Energy, and both are qualified electrical professionals. Because the directors are hands-on, the person who scopes your job understands what’s involved in doing it.

Both also hold Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation for PV and battery work, so a property that also wants solar or storage can deal with one business.

Electrical services in Joondalup

Electrical upgrades for Joondalup homes.

Joondalup is the northern suburbs’ regional centre, so alongside freestanding houses it has a lot of apartments, townhouses and mixed-use buildings. Each has its own electrical considerations.

Explore all electrical services →
  • Apartments and townhouses

    In strata properties, work that affects shared services or common property usually needs approval before it starts. We can tell you what to ask your strata manager for.

  • Chargers in shared parking

    Installing an EV charger in a shared car park involves supply, metering and approvals that a house doesn’t. It’s worth settling these before ordering a charger.

  • Lighting that suits the space

    In homes and workplaces alike, good lighting depends on how the space is used. We plan layouts, controls and fittings around that, not just the room dimensions.

  • Fitouts that keep to a schedule

    On a fitout, electrical work needs to happen at the right stages. We coordinate with builders and other trades so the programme doesn’t stall.

  • Switchboards in smaller premises

    Shops, offices and small commercial spaces can outgrow their boards as equipment is added. A capacity and protection check shows whether an upgrade is needed.

  • Safety checks and repairs

    Smoke alarms, safety switch coverage and recurring faults are worth reviewing in any property, particularly a rental or one you’re about to sell.

    I had Matt complete a large (18 units) communal lighting project at a complex in Vic Park recently and I'm very happy with the result. From the initial meeting onsite to completion was handled with confidence and ease. Communication and followup was excellent along with competitive pricing. I would highly recommended Matt to anyone looking for a good honest Electrician.

    Thanks to Mark, Matt and the Team for helping us out with electrical work at our newly purchased property. They booked us in on short notice, after we lost lighting to half of the house. They found and fixed the problem quickly, explained the fault in simple terms and showed us photos to help us understand. We will be recommending them to everyone we know!

    We used these guys for the electrical work during our kitchen renovation, and they did an outstanding job connecting everything up perfectly. They were professional, tidy, and really knew their stuff—everything was done to a high standard without issues. They also returned another time to install some downlights we wanted added, and gave us really helpful advice on placement and options that made a big difference to the final look. Great communication throughout, fair and good pricing (no nasty surprises), and they cleaned up after themselves every time. Highly recommend—reliable tradies who stand by their work!

    Matt and his team recently installed a 15amp power outlet in our backyard for our Spa. Matt came at such short notice to fit it all in so we had our Spa up and running for Christmas. The process was so seamless from the initial visit to the final install. His professionalism and customer service is something we really appreciated and would highly recommend him for any electrical or solar services.

    We couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Matt. From start to finish, his service was professional, punctual, and to an exceptionally high standard. His communication was amazing throughout the entire process, everything was explained clearly, and the work was carried out efficiently and neatly. It’s rare to find a tradesperson who combines technical expertise with such a strong work ethic and pride in their workmanship. He even cleaned up after himself!! Rare for most trades these days. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy electrician. Outstanding job. Thanks Matt

FAQs

Questions for homes, units and businesses

Quick answers to common questions. If yours isn't here, give us a call.

  • Yes, where the work is within what a strata or shared property allows. Anything that touches common property or shared services usually needs approval from the owners corporation, so it’s best to check before we start.

  • Sometimes. It depends on the building’s electrical supply, where your bay is, how the charger would be metered and whether the owners corporation approves. Get in touch with details of the building and we’ll tell you what’s likely to be involved.

  • Yes. We’ve completed commercial electrical and lighting fitouts, including a multi-room beauty and wellness space in Perth, and take on suitable commercial jobs alongside residential work. Send us the details and we’ll let you know whether it’s a good fit.

  • As early as the plans exist. Lighting layouts, power requirements and switchboard capacity affect other trades, and decisions made early are cheaper and cleaner than changes made after lining.

  • Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, frequent tripping, heat marks or no space for new circuits are all reasons to have it assessed. An electrician can tell you whether it needs a protection upgrade or replacement.

  • Use the contact page or call 0429 346 088 and describe the job and the type of property. We’ll confirm we can help and outline the next step.
