Why Replace Your Power or Property Pole?
Your private power pole or property pole is a critical part of your electrical supply. Over time, timber and steel poles can deteriorate due to weather, termites, corrosion, or vehicle impact. Damaged or non-compliant poles are a serious safety risk and, in many cases, your energy distributor may issue a defect notice requiring repair or replacement.
Replacing your pole ensures your overhead supply is structurally sound, compliant with current regulations, and positioned correctly on your property. We can replace unsafe poles, relocate poles for driveways or building works, and upgrade associated hardware such as stays, cross arms, and insulators. Our team will manage the process from initial assessment through to final reconnection.

All Your Common Power Pole Replacement Questions Answered
Common signs your pole may need replacing include visible rot or rust, leaning or movement, large cracks, termite damage, loose hardware, or low overhead cables. Your energy distributor may also issue a defect notice after an inspection. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have the pole assessed by a licensed electrician as soon as possible.
In most cases, the property owner is responsible for the condition and maintenance of private power poles on their land, while the energy distributor is responsible for poles in the street. If your pole is on your property and feeds only your premises, it’s usually your responsibility to repair or replace it if it becomes unsafe or non-compliant.
A typical replacement involves an on-site assessment, confirming the new pole location and design, coordinating outages with your energy distributor, safely disconnecting the existing supply, removing the old pole, installing and plumbing the new pole, refitting hardware and conductors, and testing before power is restored. We manage the process end-to-end and keep you informed at every step.
Costs vary depending on the type and height of the new pole, soil conditions, access for machinery, the amount of existing hardware that needs replacing, and distributor requirements. After inspecting your property, we’ll provide a detailed, fixed-price quote so you know exactly what’s involved before we begin.
Yes. For safety, your supply must be isolated while the old pole is removed and the new pole is installed and connected. We’ll schedule the work at a suitable time, let you know how long the outage is expected to last, and restore power as soon as all testing and inspections are complete.
