Reasons for Power Pole Defect Notices

If you’ve received a Western Power defect notice, it’s likely due to one of the following issues. Our expert team can assess and repair these defects, ensuring your electrical system meets all safety regulations.

Termite Damage

Termites can weaken wooden power poles, making them unstable and unsafe. Regular inspections and early intervention are key to preventing structural failure and avoiding costly replacements.

Physical Damage

Power poles can sustain damage from vehicles, machinery, or falling branches, making them structurally unsafe. Timely repairs ensure the system remains safe and fully operational.

Storm Damage

Severe weather can weaken or topple power poles, creating major safety hazards. After storms, it’s essential to check for damage and arrange repairs or replacements as needed.

Rot, Splitting, Fire Damage, and Cracks

Wooden poles naturally deteriorate over time, with rot, cracks, or fire damage reducing their strength. Addressing these issues early helps prevent collapse and ensures continued safety.

Excessive Leaning or Instability

Leaning or unstable poles pose a serious risk, particularly in high winds. If a pole is shifting or unstable, immediate corrective action is necessary to prevent further movement.

Rusting and Corrosion

Metal power poles can rust or corrode, leading to weakened structures and potential failure. Regular maintenance, including protective treatments, helps extend their lifespan.

Our experienced electricians ensure each power pole repair or replacement is carried out with precision while meeting all Western Power and Australian safety standards. Whether you need a minor repair or a full pole replacement, Limelight Electrix is your trusted partner for safe, reliable, and compliant power pole solutions in Perth.

This company ticks all the boxes. They are professional, knowledgeable, timely, good communicators, friendly, tidy, etc. No, they are not the least expensive option you'll find out there, but you will most definitely get your money's worth. They do the job right the first time, use top-notch products and do it all with a smile. Brad and his team are worth it!

We booked limelight for what we thought was an issue with the AC as there was a funny smell in the room. They communicated really well and we're able to come out same day. Turns out it was a dead rat in the roof above the room. Nick probably would have been within his rights to tell us to get a pest control person in, but he got into the roof, removed the rat and spread rat poison around. Great, friendly and professional service that went above and beyond.

We have used Limelight Electrix on a number of occasions over the years. Each time Brad is very quick to reply and gets the job done, even at a last minute notice. We recently had Brad and Nic out to change over our lights to LEDs and to reposition some of the lights in our new ceiling. Nic was a fast, efficient worker and very clean. He tidied up any mess and was a pleasure to have around. After dealing with other trades people recently, it was so nice to have Brad and Nic. Limelight Electrix are reliable, courteous, neat, up front with costs and do what they say they are going to do! They also turn up on time. Brad and his team are the only electricians we will be using. Great service!

Brad not only arrived on time, but delivered a very high quality of work. He spent time with me to understand what was important to me so that he could best deliver value for money outcomes to me, considering my tight budget. Furthermore, where he or his team found any damaged roof tiles they fixed them straight away, or any issues with non-compliance (such as smoke detectors being out of date) which impacts my insurance policy, he promptly brought it to my attention and gave me the choice to fix it there and then or when my budget would allow for it.A very professional run outfit with friendly, dependable service delivering the highest levels of quality with a focus on best value outcomes. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

Would highly recommend Brad and his team for any electrical work. We have just used Limelight again to complete a variety of work at our recently purchased house, this will be about the fifth time we have used them and every time we cannot fault Brads work.Whilst you may find cheaper quotes, you won’t find better quality - something we weren’t willing to comprise when dealing with electricity, not to mention presentation of our house. We had one minor hiccup with a phone line, they were straight back out to resolve it at no cost. They always call on the way to the job and stick to the agreed times.

Contact Limelight for all electrical work. Different electricians over the years but always deal with director Brad.I have had minor and major electrical work. Ranging from aeiling fans, lights and power outlet replaced, new reverse cycle A/C install through to a completely new 3 phase power cable and new fuse box to replace existing.On time:Attend when they day they will. Always call if they can come early. Attend after hours promptly.Service:The electricians are keen, enthusiastic and hard working. Brad seems to know how to employ and train tradies with a great attitude. Of special note is the focus cleaning up after domestic work. I appreciate it.Quotes:They spend time providing realistic quotes before any work and then adhere to the quote. Unexpected problems they cope with and talk through any variations. I never been asked for more money at the end of the job.Safety:The electricians are very safety conscious. I recall a remark, "I'm not allowed to work beyond 8 hours on the tools because that's when you get tired and start making mistakes." They always call Brad when in any doubt to make sure that the work they are doing complies with regulations, "After all, it's my name and license on the safety electrical certificate."

Perth Western Power Defect Notice FAQs

A private power pole defect notice is issued by Western Power when an inspection identifies safety or compliance issues with a privately owned power pole or overhead electrical connections.

Private power poles must meet Australian safety standards and be properly maintained to prevent hazards such as electrical faults, fire risks, or structural failure. If defects are found, Western Power will notify you in writing, outlining the issues, required repairs, and a timeframe for completion.

It’s important to address the defect as soon as possible. In most cases, you’ll need a licensed electrical contractor to assess and repair or replace the pole. If repairs are not completed within the given timeframe, Western Power may disconnect your property from the electricity network or carry out the work at your expense.

If you’ve received a defect notice, contact Limelight Electrix for an inspection and expert repairs to keep your property safe and compliant.

If you’ve received a private power pole defect notice from Western Power, it’s important to act quickly to avoid potential disconnection or additional costs. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Read the Notice Carefully – The defect notice will outline the issue, required repairs, and the deadline for completion.

  2. Contact a Licensed Electrician – A qualified electrical contractor, like Limelight Electrix, can inspect your power pole, assess the defect, and provide a quote for repairs or replacement.

  3. Complete the Required Work – Depending on the issue, repairs may involve reinforcing, replacing, or upgrading the power pole and its components to meet safety and compliance standards.

  4. Ensure Compliance Before the Deadline – Once the work is completed, it must meet Western Power’s regulations to prevent further action.

If the defect is not addressed within the timeframe, Western Power may disconnect your property or carry out the repairs at your expense. To avoid disruptions, contact Limelight Electrix today for expert assessment and fast, reliable repairs.

The cost of installing or replacing a private power pole varies based on factors like pole type, height, location, and compliance requirements. Prices can fluctuate depending on the materials used and any additional electrical work needed to meet Western Power’s safety standards.

For an accurate quote tailored to your property, we recommend contact Limelight Electrix. Our team will assess your site, provide expert recommendations, and offer a clear, competitive quote for the required work.

A Western Power defect notice is issued to ensure your safety and the integrity of the electrical network. These notices should never be ignored, as delaying repairs can lead to serious hazards, legal consequences, and potential disconnection from the grid.

Addressing defects promptly helps prevent power outages and reduces disruptions for homes and businesses that rely on an uninterrupted electricity supply. By acting quickly, you can avoid costly penalties, maintain compliance, and keep your electrical system safe and reliable.

If you’ve received a defect notice, contact Limelight Electrix today for fast, expert repairs and peace of mind.

Both Western Power and property owners share responsibility for private power pole inspections.

Western Power conducts periodic inspections as part of its duty of care to ensure electrical infrastructure remains safe. However, property owners are also responsible for regular inspections, maintenance, and necessary repairs or replacements to keep their private power poles in safe working condition. Keeping up with these responsibilities helps prevent hazards and ensures compliance with safety standards.
