A private pole is the pole on your own property, not one owned by Ausgrid, carrying the wiring between the network and your meter. Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to work on it, and it is work most electricians have to sub out. We do it ourselves, which is what makes us the complete local electrician for Blacksmiths.

Why Quick Private Pole Action Matters for Blacksmiths Homes
Electrical faults get worse fast
A leaning or rotten pole carries live wiring, and continued movement or decay increases the risk of a sudden failure.
Bigger repairs cost more
A pole caught leaning or cracked early is often repairable, but left too long it usually needs a full replacement instead.
Fire and safety risks
A collapsed or damaged private pole can expose live wiring at ground level, creating a serious shock and fire risk to anyone nearby.
Insurance complications
An unsafe or non-compliant private pole can complicate an insurance claim if it is later linked to damage or injury on the property.
Emergency
When a Private Pole Becomes an Emergency in Blacksmiths
- A pole visibly leaning, cracked, or rotten at the base
- Damaged or sagging mains hanging from the pole
- A pole that has moved or shifted after a storm
- Any exposed wiring at ground level near the pole
Call now if any of the above are happening at your Blacksmiths property. Our Level 2 ASP team offers same-day and 24/7 emergency response. Keep well clear of the pole and any wiring and wait for a licensed electrician.
Common Private Pole Problems We Fix Across Blacksmiths
Rotten timber poles from the cottage era
Original timber private poles installed during the suburb's holiday-cottage years have often reached the end of their working life and need replacement.
Salt and sand corrosion at the base
Sandy, low-lying ground and constant salt exposure along this back-barrier strip accelerate corrosion and rot at the pole base faster than inland areas.
Storm-damaged or leaning poles
East Coast lows and strong onshore winds across Blacksmiths can loosen or shift a private pole, related to storm-damaged mains.
Sagging mains pulling on the pole
A sagging service line adds ongoing strain to the pole and its fittings, related to a sagging service line.
Ageing poles ahead of a renovation
Coastal rebuilds are a good opportunity to replace an ageing pole at the same time as other electrical upgrades.
