Weatherproof outlets where you actually use them outside, so the extension lead through the back door can finally go.

Still Running a Lead Out the Back Door?
Almost every house does it. A lead run from the laundry, through the door, across the paving to the pressure washer, the mower charger, or whatever is being used that day. The door never quite closes and the lead gets stepped on for a week.
The reason is usually that the house was built with one outdoor outlet, in a position nobody would have chosen, and everything since has worked around it.
The version that causes real problems is using an indoor outlet outside. An ordinary faceplate under a pergola or eave looks fine for a year or two, then humidity and wind driven rain get into it, and it starts tripping the circuit.
- An extension lead permanently run from inside the house
- One outdoor outlet in an inconvenient position
- A standard indoor outlet used in a covered outdoor spot
- A circuit that trips after wet weather
- Nowhere to plug anything in on the alfresco or deck
Power Where You Use It Outside
Outdoor outlets get used far more than people expect once they exist. The alfresco, the deck, the side of the house where the pressure washer lives, the spot where a caravan or trailer sits.
What makes them last is the enclosure and how it is mounted, not the outlet inside it. A rated weatherproof enclosure, positioned so water runs off rather than into it, is the difference between an outlet that works for a decade and one that trips the circuit after a wet fortnight.
Before quoting we check which circuit the new outlets will sit on and whether it can carry what you intend to run. For anything drawing real current, a dedicated circuit is usually the better answer, and we will say so.
Tell us where you want them and roughly what will get plugged in. Doing several at once is considerably cheaper than adding them one at a time.

Liam made the whole experience smooth and hassle free. He provided great advice and communicated in a friendly and professional manner. He was accommodating and flexible with my schedule and he left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend him for future jobs.

We were so lucky that some friends recommended Liam. He's friendly, thoughtful, interested in solving problems, in a way that makes him a delight to deal with. We couldn't be happier with the results of his work and unlike other sparkies we've worked with, he turns up on time and even came back on his day off to make sure everything was working as it should. His prices are fair, and his work is of a very high standard. Couldn't be happier. We will definitely be hiring Liam for all future work in our house.

Outdoor Powerpoint Questions
No. Any outlet in an outdoor position needs a weatherproof enclosure rated for it, even under an eave or a pergola, because wind driven rain and humidity reach further than people expect. Using an indoor outlet outside is a common cause of nuisance tripping.
Sometimes, depending on what that circuit already carries and what you plan to run outside. For occasional light use it is often fine. For anything drawing real current continuously, a dedicated circuit is the better answer and we will tell you which applies.
More than you think, because they cost very little extra while we are already there and they get used. The alfresco, the far side of the house and near where equipment is stored are the three positions people most often wish they had done.
Outdoor circuits are exactly the case residual current protection exists for, since water and outdoor equipment are the most common sources of a fault. If your board does not provide it on that circuit, we will raise it as part of the quote.
Yes, either underground in conduit or overhead depending on the property. Distance affects the cable size, so the run gets measured and costed, not estimated.
It depends on the distance from a suitable circuit, the wall construction and whether a new circuit is needed. Several at once costs much less per outlet than one at a time. Quotes are free.
