Woolloomooloo sits right on the harbour edge of the Sydney CBD, wrapped around the Finger Wharf and the naval base at Garden Island. It has one of the most mixed housing stocks in Sydney: rows of public housing blocks off Forbes St and Cathedral St, converted wharf apartments along Cowper Wharf Roadway, and tight Victorian terraces climbing the hill toward Potts Point. The McElhone Stairs and the old corner pubs are part of the daily picture here.
That housing mix keeps both our residential and commercial teams busy. In the public housing and walk-up blocks we replace tired ceramic-fuse switchboards, repair common-area and stair lighting and run 6-monthly emergency lighting testing for the building owners. In the wharf apartments we handle strata work, basement EV charger installs and individual unit refits, and on the terraces we do rewires, lighting and switchboard upgrades on homes with decades-old wiring. For the pubs, cafes and offices around the wharf, our commercial electricians cover fit-outs, three-phase and after-hours repairs.
A dense harbour-edge mix of public housing blocks, converted wharf apartments and older Victorian terraces packed in between the Sydney CBD and the naval base at Garden Island.
