Shed Power & Lighting in the Hawkesbury
On acreage and semi-rural blocks, the shed often does more work than the house. Whether it's a garage, a hobby workshop or a machinery shed out the back paddock, we run power to it and fit it out properly.
What we do
- Underground supply from the house to the shed
- Subboards in the shed with their own protection
- LED battens and high bay lighting
- Double power points along benches
- 15 amp and machinery outlets for welders, compressors and tools
- External sensor and flood lighting
- Power for gates, pumps and other property infrastructure
Why shed jobs are priced after inspection
Every shed job is different. The distance from the house, the trenching route, what the existing switchboard can supply, and what you plan to run in the shed all change the cable size and the work involved. We won't give you a number without understanding those things — but a few photos and the rough distance help us get started.
Planning ahead
If you think you might add a welder, air compressor, kiln or a second fridge later, tell us now. Sizing the supply cable for future load costs little extra while the trench is open and saves digging it up again.
Frequently asked questions
How far can you run power to a shed?
Long runs are common on acreage. Longer distances need a larger cable to keep voltage drop in check, which is one reason we assess each job.
Do I need a subboard in the shed?
For most workshops and machinery sheds, yes. It gives the shed its own protection and makes it easy to add circuits.
Can you trench for the cable?
Tell us about the ground and route when you get in touch and we'll talk through trenching options for your property.
Will my house switchboard handle a shed?
It depends on its age and capacity. Sometimes the board needs an upgrade first — we'll check that as part of the job.
