Potts Point is one of Sydney's most densely built pockets, packed with Art Deco and Victorian apartment blocks running off Macleay St and Victoria St down toward Kings Cross and the Woolloomooloo wharf. Many of these buildings date back decades, with original wiring and shared switchboards behind grand street frontages. The result is a constant stream of strata work, apartment rewires and switchboard upgrades. Add the cafes and small bars through Llankelly Place and the precinct keeps both our residential and commercial teams busy.
The Art Deco and Victorian apartment stock in Potts Point generates a particular kind of electrical work. Older blocks often still run ceramic-fuse boards and ageing rubber or early PVC wiring that no longer meets current standards, so rewires and RCBO board upgrades are common. Strata managers call us for common-area lighting, emergency and exit light testing and basement carpark circuits, and owners book individual apartment refits. Basement EV charger installs are a growing request, usually needing a dedicated meter and load management tied back to the building's main board. For the hospitality and retail spaces along Macleay St, our commercial electricians handle fit-outs, three-phase and after-hours emergency repairs.
A high-density mix of Art Deco and Victorian apartment blocks, concentrated along Macleay St, Victoria St and the streets running down toward Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo.
