Hi! I’m Coleen
Hi, I’m Coleen, the founder of Alto Electrical.
I consider myself very lucky to be working with such a wonderful team of people, especially as
they manage to surpass my high expectations every time we tackle something new.
My primary recruitment condition has always been: would I let them work in my nan’s house? I
am very proud of them as professionals and as people, and I trust them to provide the finest and
friendliest service to all of our customers. They are efficient, they are professional, but most of
all, they are kind.

Big thank you to Brooke and David from Alto Electrical for fitting some lights at The Spinney today. Quick and efficient service from a couple of incredibly polite sparkies. Hope to see you both back here again soon.

Heritage Building, Grade II Listed 1872 Victorian Townhouse RenovationWhat a lovely, honest bunch of people and they actually turned up when they said they would. A special mention has to go to Brooke for being amazing. My house couldn’t have thrown more at her but she took it all in her stride, giggle fit after Dave fell off the ladder as well.

She was brilliant, and fixed the issue enough so that we could manage until there was more time to figure out what happened. We would definitely recommend her services to our friends and family.

The company was most helpful and a pleasure to business with. For any electrical work I need in my property, Alto would be my first choice.

Source - Google ReviewThis is definitely the best electrical company I have found and used. No job too small and all done extremely professionally with great workmanship. Kay was on constant hand from the office to support us through arranging times and explaining electrical tech!!! Kris who did the original quote was both professional and friendly no jargon no hard sell – just great people doing great work. As a female headed company this too is yet another bonus. Cannot praise them enough and highly recommend to everyone and it is TRUE that no job is too small. Brilliant.

Source - Google ReviewAlto Electrical are proactive and helpful, always giving excellent customer service. I really appreciate the clarity of language in their quotations and correspondence, and their clear communication around such a specialist subject means customers have an excellent understanding of what works are required for electrical issues. Kay is always so helpful on the phone and replies to emails very efficiently, so issues are resolved quickly and conveniently. I would recommend Alto Electrical to people who need an efficient, well-organised, knowledgeable and friendly team to call on for their electrical maintenance, repairs and compliance.

After starting off with just one person as a sole trader we have progressed into and 8 person team, this means that we have a team on hand in the office to assist you with any queries whilst the engineers are out carrying out the work for many other happy clients.
This means that you don’t have to worry about talking with the engineers about pricing whilst they are trying to complete the task at hand, instead you can call the office and speak to someone who will be able to pull up your fill and answer any questions you may have.
We often get asked this, but in fact no, we are not all female. We have gone through various ratios over the year’s, but we are currently 50/50 males to females.
We are still happy to send a female engineer if requested, which we do get when we have a vulnerable or nervous client. But you do need to let us know in advance. This is no issue to us and we are happy to oblige, as this is one of the reasons our founder, Coleen, started the company. We would be just as happy to oblige if somebody requested a male for a similar reason.

We understand that not all work is able to be quoted, such as fault-finding or investigation work. In these instances we will discuss pricing with you on the phone, and when we book you in with an engineer we will make sure that you are fully aware of all costs that we foresee being incurred as much as we can. I’m worried about getting a large bill for electrical work we can’t promise that your electrical repair won’t be costly if it is in bad condition but we do promise that we or discussed anything we find along the way so that you are always aware of the situation we don’t believe in spending a long time trying to fix something that is not able to be fixed and find that is it is often quicker to do a repair on the area rather than to identify the exact fault as this could be behind a wall or between the floor boards under the floorboards and that we will work to your budget as much as we can we give ourselves a 2-hour deadline to fix any faults and rarely go birthday in most instances there is no reason you can’t plan a repair within that time if the repair is not quick to fix we will then provide you with a fixed quotation too to resolve your issues we are also happy to stage payment for emergency works if if they have have been unexpected and you are struggling to make the payment we just ask that you talk to us first as we can then plan this into our budgeting as a company turn up to do the work depending on the size of your job you will get at least one 1/4 fide qualified electrician these may be accompanied by other qualified electricians or apprentices depending on the size and type of job sometimes another electrician may come and join them once they have finished another job don’t be alarmed they have still been briefed on the work needed and and will look after your home as if it’s their own
We don’t believe in spending a long time trying to fix something that is not able to be fixed and find that it is often quicker to do a repair on the “leg”, rather than to identify the exact fault, as this could be behind a wall or under the floorboards.
We give ourselves a 2-hour deadline to identify any faults and rarely go above this, in most instances there is no reason you can’t plan a repair within that time. If the repair is not quick to fix we will then provide you with a fixed quotation too to resolve your issue.
We can’t promise that your electrical repair won’t be costly if it is in bad condition, but we do promise that we or discussed anything we find along the way so that you are always aware of the situation, and that we will work to your budget as much as we can.
We are also happy to stage payments for emergency works if they have been unexpected and you are struggling to make the payment. We just ask that you talk to us first, as we can then plan this into our budget turn up to do the work depending on the size of your job you will get at least one 1/4 fide qualified electrician these may be accompanied by other qualified electricians or apprentices depending on the size and type of job sometimes another electrician may come and join them once they have finished another job don’t be alarmed they have still been briefed on the work needed and and will look after your home as if it’s their own as a company.
No matter what is the size of your job you will get at least one qualified electrician. These may be accompanied by other qualified electricians or apprentices depending on the size and type of job.
Sometimes another electrician may come and join them once they have finished another job, don’t be alarmed they have still been briefed on the work needed and and will look after your home as if it’s their own.
