What’s included

  • Isolate circuit and perform site setup
  • Remove existing switch and install new switch
  • Test circuit integrity and perform polarity check
  • Clean work area and restore power

What changes the price

  • How many switches you need.
  • The parts and materials for your job.
  • Anything unusual about access or the work, which Karua asks about before pricing.

If the contractor finds extra work on the day, Karua prices it and nothing goes ahead without your approval.

How booking works

  1. Describe the job and see your estimate. There is no ringing around and no haggling.
  2. Book online. Karua places a hold on your card to confirm the job.
  3. Karua books a vetted contractor, licensed where the trade requires it.
  4. Payment is taken when you approve the work, or 12 hours after completion (at 8am if that falls overnight) if you don’t respond.
