Electrician in Surry Hills

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.

Drive time from Brookvale HQ: ~32 min from Brookvale via the Harbour Tunnel.

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.

Local FAQs

Do you wire Victorian terraces in Surry Hills?

Yes. We rewire and upgrade older terraces around Crown St and Bourke St, replacing rubber and VIR cabling, adding RCBO switchboards and fixing the cramped meter positions common in these homes.

Can you handle electrical work in a converted warehouse apartment?

Yes. We work in the warehouse conversions off Wentworth Ave and around Reservoir St, dealing with exposed conduit, high ceilings and shared strata supply, and we coordinate with the owners' corporation when the job touches common property.

Do you fit out cafes and creative offices in Surry Hills?

Yes. We do full commercial fit-outs for cafes, studios and offices, including three-phase, lighting, data, exit signs and emergency lighting, with CCEW certification on completion.

Can you respond to an after-hours emergency near Central?

Yes, we answer the phone 24/7 and reach Surry Hills in around 32 minutes from Brookvale via the Harbour Tunnel for a power outage, sparking outlet or burning smell.

My terrace switchboard still has ceramic fuses. Can you upgrade it?

Yes. We replace old ceramic-fuse boards with a modern RCBO-protected switchboard, which is one of the most common jobs we do in Surry Hills terraces.

Can you install an EV charger at a terrace with on-street parking only?

Where there is off-street or rear-lane parking we install a 7kW or 22kW charger with load assessment. For terraces with on-street parking only we look at the closest compliant option and talk you through it first.

Do you do emergency and exit lighting compliance for offices?

Yes, 6-monthly testing per AS 2293 with log books and certification for offices, studios and retail tenancies across Surry Hills.

Are you a Level 2 ASP if my building needs a mains or metering upgrade?

Yes. We handle the full Level 2 scope including service mains, point of attachment and metering, which suits the older supply found in many Surry Hills terraces and warehouses.

    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.
