AT YOUR PROPERTY
Which electrical installation will remain at handover?
A fit-out can involve temporary equipment, an occupied part of the building and a new installation still being completed. When requesting surge protection in Rosebank, tell Wesslink which stage the project has reached and which boards will serve the finished premises.
If your Rosebank fit-out is taking place while other parts of the building remain occupied, arrange the assessment through the site or facilities contact. Identify the temporary construction supply and the installation intended for the finished premises so the quotation covers the right work.
THE WORK TO DISCUSS
Make protection part of the handover plan
The final board layout and equipment schedule should be available to the electrician doing the assessment.
02
A new tenant fit-out
Include the tenant's equipment schedule and the landlord's available electrical records. State whether the quote covers the suite, shared distribution or both.
Commercial electrical work ↗03
Temporary construction equipment
Point it out in the enquiry and identify the project electrician. The assessment should distinguish what will be removed from what remains when the occupier takes over.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Surge protection, lightning and the right SPD
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It helps reduce risk; it does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Surge protection
SPDs are selected and coordinated for the supply, earthing, exposure, boards and equipment. Different Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 roles may be relevant.
Lightning protection
A structural lightning-protection system has a different role. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients must not be treated as one diagnosis.
Supply problems
A surge should not be diagnosed remotely. Transformers and network switching can create transient conditions, but protection cannot be promised against every voltage disturbance.
Explore SPD types, coordination and technical references
There is no universal number of surge protectors for every property. Map the incoming supply, earthing and exposure; trace main and downstream boards, cable distances and critical loads; include relevant power, data and control lines; then coordinate the selected device roles.
Manufacturer guidance should be applied to the specific installation.
CHECK BEFORE YOU NEED TO CLAIM
Does your insurance cover power-surge damage?
Your insurer’s requirements matter. Check your current policy schedule, surge-cover benefits, limits, excesses, exclusions and any protection requirements with your insurer or broker.
Installing an SPD does not automatically secure a payout. Equally, the absence of a particular device does not establish automatic rejection under every policy. Claim treatment also depends on the actual cause.
Keep incident photographs, equipment details, installation records, assessments and repair evidence. Record previous damage as evidence rather than assuming a cause.
LOCAL ELECTRICAL SUPPORT
Surge protection in Rosebank and other service areas
Send your exact address, property type and equipment concerns to request a quotation. Confirm access and current availability when booking.
Should surge protection be discussed before a Rosebank fit-out is finished?
Yes. Send the intended board layout and equipment schedule while access is still being planned. Wesslink can discuss the assessment and when the permanent installation will be ready for the work.
Can the visit cover an occupied floor?
Explain the occupation and operating hours. The facilities contact and Wesslink can agree access and any necessary interruption before the visit is booked.
How do we record surge damages in Rosebank during building work?
Keep the affected equipment list, the date noticed and the contractor's findings. Identify whether the equipment used a temporary or permanent supply. Ask for an assessment of the relevant installation without assigning a cause from the construction activity alone.
What does an SPD do?
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It reduces risk but does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Is surge protection the same as lightning protection?
No. Coordinated SPDs and a structural lightning-protection system have different roles. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients are not interchangeable.
What if the final layout changes after the quote?
Send the revised drawing or equipment list before installation. Wesslink can confirm whether the proposed protection or price needs to change.
Does an SPD guarantee an insurance claim will be paid?
No. Policy treatment depends on the insurer, plan, schedule, limits, excesses, optional benefits, exclusions and actual cause. Check current policy wording and preserve incident, installation and repair evidence.
