Electrician in Kirribilli

Kirribilli sits right beside the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the Lower North Shore, a tight grid of period apartment blocks and harbourfront homes between Milsons Point station and the water. Streets like Kirribilli Ave, Carabella St and Beulah St are lined with 1920s and 1930s walk-up flats, while the homes closer to the foreshore look straight out over the harbour. It is one of the oldest pockets of high-density living in Sydney, so the wiring under all that character is often well overdue for attention.

Drive time from Brookvale HQ: ~25 min from Brookvale via Warringah Fwy.

Kirribilli's housing mix keeps both our residential and commercial teams busy. The period apartment blocks generate plenty of strata work: common-area and stairwell lighting, emergency and exit lights, basement circuits and ageing switchboards that still run ceramic fuses. Individual owners ask us for careful rewires that protect original cornices and joinery, plus kitchen and bathroom refits. The harbourfront homes bring switchboard upgrades, full rewires, garden and jetty lighting and EV charger installs, and we cover after-hours emergency callouts across the whole suburb.

    We had a power outage across half our office and couldn't find the issue. DM sent an experienced electrician who solved it within 20 minutes. Extremely professional, clean and efficient. We can't recommend Dan and the team highly enough.
