Clovelly is a quiet pocket of the Eastern Suburbs built on semis and cottages climbing the steep streets above the beach. Roads like Eastbourne Ave and Arden St run up from the sheltered bay and Clovelly Bowling Club, so most blocks sit on a slope with split levels and stepped gardens. The housing is older and tightly packed, with a lot of original brick semis and freestanding cottages. That mix throws up a steady run of switchboard upgrades, rewires and outdoor lighting jobs.
Clovelly's older housing stock keeps our residential team busy. Many semis and cottages still run on ceramic-fuse boards and aged wiring, so switchboard upgrades and full rewires are common, often paired with kitchen and bathroom renovations. The sloping blocks suit stepped garden lighting, outdoor power and pool circuits, and we see growing demand for home EV chargers that need a load check and sometimes a three-phase upgrade. For the smaller unit blocks near the beach, we also cover strata common-area lighting and emergency light testing.
