Why Ben Stokes Electrical
The electrician you’ll keep the number for
A local crew who turn up
Based in Jesmond, working right across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. You get a licensed electrician who knows the area and arrives in the window we give you — not a no-show.
Priced up front, no surprises
You'll know where you stand before we start. We keep it clear and honest — no scope creep, no nasty surprises at the end of the job.
Licensed, insured, done right
Every job is done by a fully licensed electrician (NSW #477240C) and left safe, tested and compliant — from a single power point to a full home rewire.
Tidy work, left spotless
Drop sheets down, mess cleaned up, rubbish taken. You shouldn't be able to tell we were there — except everything works the way it should.
