COMMERCIAL ELECTRICIAN YAMBA
Shop fit-outs, cafes, offices, holiday accommodation, industrial sheds and multi-tenancy buildings across Yamba and the Clarence Valley — planned, wired and certified.
Commercial electrical is a different animal to residential. Larger loads, three-phase distribution, emergency and exit lighting, tenancy metering, mandatory testing schedules, tighter compliance and — usually — a real cost every hour the site isn't trading. A good commercial electrician plans the job to keep your business open, gets it right the first time, and delivers the paperwork your insurer and landlord actually need.
Assemble Electrical works with cafes, retailers, holiday operators, tradesmen's sheds, offices and small industrial sites across Yamba, Maclean, Iluka, Grafton and the wider Clarence Valley. From a single new light in a shop to a full fit-out and switchboard, we quote clearly, schedule around your trading hours, and hand over full compliance documentation at the end.

COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL DONE PROPERLY
Fit-outs for cafes, shops and offices
A retail or hospitality fit-out is time-critical. Any day the doors aren't open is lost revenue. We coordinate with your shopfitter, joiner and refrigeration tech to sequence the electrical works so trades aren't waiting on each other. That means the switchboard is upgraded before appliances land, data is pulled before ceilings close, and feature lighting is aimed before signage goes up.
Emergency and exit lighting compliance
AS 2293 requires exit and emergency lighting in all commercial premises, tested every 6 months with results logged. We install compliant emergency luminaires and run the 6-monthly discharge testing so your logbook is always up to date for landlord and insurer inspections.
Test and tag
Workplace portable appliance testing (AS/NZS 3760) protects staff and satisfies your insurance and SafeWork obligations. We tag on-site outside trading hours and provide a full asset register with re-test dates.
Three-phase and industrial work
For sheds, small factories and tradesmen's premises around the Clarence Valley industrial estates, we install three-phase outlets, machinery hard-wiring, motor starters, VSDs and dedicated protection. Level 2 work — new connections, upgrades to the point of attachment, private pole works — is done in-house.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting my business?
Yes. Most retail and hospitality clients in Yamba and Maclean prefer overnight or Sunday work — we quote clearly for either.
Do you provide the compliance paperwork my landlord asks for?
Always. Certificates of Compliance, emergency lighting logbooks and test-and-tag registers are provided as standard.
Do you handle three-phase and Level 2 work?
Yes. Both are in-house — no subcontracting, no delays waiting on other trades.
Can you maintain my premises on an ongoing basis?
Yes. We offer scheduled preventive maintenance visits, 6-monthly emergency light testing, and annual test-and-tag runs.
How often does emergency lighting need to be tested in NSW?
AS 2293 requires a 6-monthly discharge test with results logged, plus a full inspection annually. We handle both and keep your logbook audit-ready.
Do you fit out cafes, restaurants and shops in Yamba?
Yes — full electrical fit-out from switchboard to feature lighting, coordinated with your shopfitter, joiner and refrigeration tech to keep the trading launch on schedule.
Can you provide test and tag across multiple sites?
Yes. We handle multi-site AS/NZS 3760 test-and-tag runs across Yamba, Maclean, Grafton and the wider Clarence Valley with a consolidated asset register.
PEOPLE ALSO ASK
How much does a commercial shop fit-out cost in electrical?+
Fit-out costs scale with tenancy size, appliance loads, feature lighting and whether a new switchboard is required. We break the quote into staged milestones so you can see exactly what each phase costs and where you can trim.
Do cafes need three-phase power?+
Most do. Commercial coffee machines, dishwashers, cooktops and grills combine to exceed single-phase capacity. We install and connect three-phase supply as part of most Yamba cafe fit-outs.
How often should office electrical be tested and tagged?+
AS/NZS 3760 sets test intervals by environment — offices typically every 12 months, hospitality every 6 months, construction sites every 3 months. We schedule the interval that matches your industry.
Can I do my own commercial electrical work in NSW?+
No. Commercial electrical works require a licensed electrical contractor, and most works also require a Certificate of Compliance. Insurers routinely refuse claims where unlicensed work is identified.
What compliance documents does my commercial landlord need?+
Certificates of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on all works, a current emergency and exit lighting logbook (AS 2293), and a test-and-tag asset register (AS/NZS 3760). We supply all three as standard.
