ELECTRICIAN ST MARYS

Usually. Our working hours are 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm on Saturdays, with Sundays off. Ring 02 8999 3691 early and we can normally reach St Marys that day, whether the job sits south of the railway near Queen Street or up among the workshops. Tenants without power, or anything giving off heat or smoke, are seen first.

There is no price list, because jobs vary so much across the suburb. We visit, test, and then send a written fixed figure. An alarm swap in a newer unit near the station takes a fraction of the time that tracing a fault through an old house near Magdalene Street does. Landlords and agents like that the approved number is the one on the invoice.

With 52.6 per cent of homes here leased, this is the question we hear most. The property needs a working alarm on every storey. When a tenant reports a fault, it must be repaired within two business days, and alarms have to be replaced within ten years of manufacture. Mains-powered units can only be installed by a licensed electrician. We also offer smoke alarm testing at each changeover with dated records.

It depends on where the fault sits. Circuits running from your own unit board into your rooms normally belong to the lot owner, while main supply boards, driveway lights and shared meter enclosures are usually common property. Thirty per cent of St Marys dwellings are townhouse or villa style, so we see this often. We trace the fault first and give both you and the strata manager a written finding.

Yes. St Marys has heritage-listed places including St Mary Magdalene Church, Bronte House, Mimosa and the railway station, plus other houses from the late 1800s. We lift boards and use existing voids where we can, avoid cutting original plaster and joinery, and keep new meter boxes and outdoor lights off the street elevation. For a listed item, check approvals with Penrith City Council before work starts.

We do. The industrial half of the suburb is full of automotive businesses, from wreckers to paint, body, tyre and brake shops. We install three-phase outlets for hoists and compressors, isolators on heavy machines, LED high bays and additional power points along benches, and we trace the nuisance tripping that crops up when a board has been extended too many times.

Certainly. Many Queen Street tenancies have been refitted several times, so lighting circuits and outlets are often a patchwork. We replace fluorescent fittings with LED downlights, add dedicated circuits for coffee machines and ovens, fit exit and emergency lighting, and schedule noisy work before opening so trading carries on as normal.

Yes. New multi-storey blocks have gone up near the line as the Metro arrives, and owners often want extra outlets, data points or brighter lighting soon after moving in. We check what the building’s strata rules allow, confirm access with the building manager and keep all work inside your lot unless the owners corporation has approved something wider.

Yes, at no extra cost when you have already booked us for a job. We look at RCD coverage on the board, test the alarms, and check for loose or heat-marked outlets. For landlords with older St Marys stock, that quick inspection often picks up a problem before it turns into an urgent tenant call.

All of our electricians are licensed in NSW and fully insured. Spyro founded the business in 2017, the team now numbers five or more, and our 250+ customers span homeowners, landlords and businesses across Sydney. The labour on everything we install is guaranteed for life, and each job is certified before we leave.
