Fairlight wraps around the harbour between Manly and Balgowlah, with the Scenic Walkway running the foreshore past Fairlight Beach and the pool out to North Harbour Reserve. The streets above are a tight mix of Federation cottages, art deco flats and grand harbourside homes, leafy, hilly, and close enough to Manly to walk to the ferry.
The art deco walk-ups stacked up the slope off Sydney Road almost always come to us with a porcelain-fuse board and a single shared meter panel, so most of our strata work here is splitting metering and bringing the main switch up to current standard without shutting the whole block down for a week. On the harbour-facing streets like Lauderdale Parade and Crown Road the salt eats external switchgear, so we swap meter boxes, garden GPOs and pool isolators for 316 stainless and IP66 gear. The Federation cottages between the foreshore and Balgowlah Road still hide original rubber and VIR wiring behind plaster, which we stage a rewire around so the cornices and picture rails survive. EV chargers on the steep below-street garages and Level 2 ASP consumer-mains work round out a typical week in Fairlight.
A mix of Federation cottages and California bungalows on the harbour-facing slopes, art deco walk-up apartments through the lower streets, a scattering of 1970s brick towers, and substantial modernised harbourside homes along the Lauderdale and Crown Road frontages.

Yes. For homes on the Lauderdale, Crown and Hilltop side we specify 316 stainless enclosures and IP66 GPOs because standard fittings corrode through inside a couple of years.
Yes. We plan cable routes through subfloor and ceiling cavities and use existing chases where possible, so cornices, picture rails and pressed-metal ceilings stay intact.
Yes. We routinely run sub-mains down to garages set well below the street. We'll assess voltage drop on the longer cable runs and recommend single- or three-phase based on the car and the driveway length.
Yes. Strata switchboard, main-switch and meter-panel upgrades in the art deco and 70s walk-ups are Level 2 ASP work. We coordinate the Ausgrid shutdown so it's a single outage for the building.
Yes. RCD-protected dedicated circuits, IP-rated isolators and bonding for harbourside pools are standard work, and we cross-check the install against AS/NZS 3000 zoning requirements.
Yes. As a Level 2 ASP we replace the consumer mains, the meter enclosure and any service-fuse hardware, and re-energise within the one visit in most cases.
