Shed Electrical Fit-Out in Toowoomba
An extension lead from the house isn't a shed fit-out. A proper one runs sub-mains from the main switchboard to a sub-board in the shed, with an RCD on every circuit and enough capacity for the gear you actually run. Glenn does the lot himself.
- Sub-board with RCD protection on every circuit
- LED batten lighting so there are no dark corners over the bench
- Cable in conduit, neat enough to extend later

The Short Version

The Sub-Board Is the Whole Job
Everything else in a shed hangs off one decision: how power gets out there and what it lands in. Get that right and the rest is straightforward.
Sub-mains sized for the distance
The feed from your main switchboard gets sized on the load and the run. Long runs need bigger cable, or the voltage drops off and your tools work harder than they should.
RCD on every circuit
A shed is a damp concrete floor and metal everything. Every circuit in the sub-board gets its own breaker and RCD protection.
Spare poles from day one
Glenn sizes the board with empty positions left in it, so adding a circuit later doesn't mean replacing the board.
Dedicated circuits for the heavy gear
Welders, compressors and dust extractors get their own circuits. That's what stops the breaker going every time two things run at once.

What Happens From Call to Power On
Glenn looks at the shed
How you'll use it, where the board goes, and what the cable route from the house looks like.
You get a layout and a real number
Board size, circuits, light and power point positions, and any trenching, itemised.
Sub-board and sub-mains
Conduit and cable run from the main switchboard, then the sub-board goes in and gets fed.
Lights, power and conduit
LED battens across the ceiling, power points where you'll stand, everything run in surface conduit.
Tested and certified
Insulation resistance, earth continuity, RCD trip times and polarity, then a labelled board and your Electrical Safety Certificate.
What It Costs
There's no flat price on a shed, because the distance from the house usually decides more than the shed does. Cable run, trenching, how many circuits you need and whether it's 3-phase all move the number. Glenn comes and looks, then gives you a real figure before anything starts.
