Darlinghurst sits just east of the city, a tight grid of Victorian terraces, walk-up flats and newer apartment blocks running off the Oxford St hospitality strip. Side streets like Forbes St, Liverpool St and Victoria St are wall-to-wall terraces, while the bars, cafes and restaurants along Oxford St keep the precinct busy late into the night. With Green Park, St Vincent's Hospital and Taylor Square all close by, it's a dense inner-city pocket where heritage homes and commercial venues share the same block.
That housing mix keeps both our residential and commercial teams busy in Darlinghurst. The terraces often have old ceramic-fuse boards, knob-and-tube remnants and undersized wiring that need switchboard upgrades, rewires and careful cable runs that respect the heritage fabric. The apartment blocks bring strata work, common-area lighting, emergency exit testing and basement EV charger installs. Along Oxford St, our commercial electricians handle bar and restaurant fit-outs, three-phase power, exit and emergency lighting, and after-hours repairs so venues can keep trading.
