Lee is the person you get, and the reviews are unusually consistent on his fault finding and follow through. Customers mention quick gate repairs, clear pricing, and him returning to fix hookups at no charge when something was not right. The work he covers is not basic power points alone: switchboards, heat pumps, EV chargers, gate automation, rewires and light commercial jobs all appear. A couple of people had a follow-up needed after a gate or charger install, and Lee returned promptly each time. The review pool is small enough that one bad day could move it, but the 33 reviews show a stable sole trader who is fit for urgent fixes and fiddly jobs.

Best for: automatic gate and garage opener installs, EV charger and power point work, and urgent fault-finding or switchboard jobs on the Mornington Peninsula.

About Wilks Electrical Services (vic)

Lee from Wilks Electrical does a lot more than change points and fittings; gates, EV chargers and fault finding are the jobs reviewers keep mentioning. He installed garage openers, electric gates and a BYD charger, and he will diagnose faults rather than guess. Several customers described work on difficult two-storey or body corp jobs that some tradies would avoid. Lee explains things in plain terms, whether it is a blown motor, new lighting or NBN prep, so you actually understand the fix. The same themes of tidy work, prompt timing, fair quotes and cleaning up after himself appear across the sample. Dogs are safe around him too, if that matters in your house. He works across Mornington Peninsula homes, light commercial, schools, childcares, strata and caravan parks. For tricky jobs or gate electrics, he is the local choice people seem to go back to.

Best for: automatic gate and garage opener installs, EV charger and power point work, and urgent fault-finding or switchboard jobs on the Mornington Peninsula.
