Upgrading electrical supply in shed - looking for decent electrician in Newcastle
I want to get some bigger circuits / sockets in the shed to run some decent size gear. Currently just have 10amp outlets.
I need one 15amp, and one 32amp (or 25 amp) outlet.
I've tried going through the phone book a bit, but either had lack of interest, very very high quoted prices, or been told things that ain't true / don't fill me with confidence. E.g. that 25 or 32amp outlets don't exist for single phase...
Or give a quote that is not for what I asked for despite being very clear about my needs.
I'd appreciate if any Newcastle or surrounding area members know of a reasonable electrician. I'm not looking for super low price, just someone who won't give me the run around.

A good mate of mine is an electrician. Send me a message if you'd like to have a chat to him.

25amp and 32amp single phase sockets and plugs are readily available.
A small CNC mill. And in future, whatever else.
The vast majority of the cost is getting someone to come and do it. Cost difference in materials is very little. So I just want the biggest I can get and to not have to worry about it again in future.

Appreciate the replies, but I'm what I'm looking for is recommendations for an electrician who deals with a bit more than 10amp GPOs.
I'm well aware of the various issues and standards involved. I am however not a qualified electrician and thus cannot do the work myself.

Sent you a text.
Craig Henshall has done a fair bit of work for me in the past, and is currently upgrading my supply to 3 phase. Reliable and works for a fair price.
One of those tradies you hang on to.
