Surry Hills sits just south of the city, a tight grid of Victorian terraces, converted warehouses and a busy run of cafes and creative offices along Crown St and Bourke St. Between Central Station and Cleveland St you get original two-storey terraces sitting next to old industrial buildings turned into apartments and studios. The result is a real mix of work, where we are upgrading a heritage terrace one street and fitting out a cafe or office the next.
That housing and commercial mix keeps both our residential and commercial teams busy in Surry Hills. The older terraces often still carry rubber or VIR wiring and ceramic-fuse boards, so rewires, switchboard upgrades and added power and lighting circuits are common. Warehouse conversions bring shared strata supply, exposed conduit runs and high ceilings to work around. For the cafes, studios and offices along Crown St and Bourke St, we handle fit-outs, three-phase, exit and emergency lighting, and after-hours repairs so businesses can keep trading.
A tight inner-city grid of Victorian terraces and converted warehouses mixed with cafes and creative offices, concentrated around Crown St, Bourke St and the streets running off Cleveland St toward Central.
