Own a warehouse off Henderson Road, a terrace near Alexandria Park or a unit by Sydney Park? Our seasonal Alexandria deals also reach Mitchell Road, Henderson Road and the Retreat Street end. Bring up the deal on the phone and we deduct it from the job.
Homes in 2015 are mostly stacked or joined. ABS 2021 figures show 65.2 per cent flats, 29.0 per cent terraces or townhouses and only 4.7 per cent free-standing houses, well short of the 65.6 per cent NSW share. Two-bedroom dwellings lead at 42.2 per cent. Surviving worker terraces along the northern edge sit beside warehouse conversions and new Green Square blocks, so our days swing from rewiring a Victorian terrace to fault tracing on apartment sub-boards.
By 1943 this was called the Birmingham of Australia, with 550 factories packed into roughly 1,000 acres. Warehousing and light industry still fill the ground around O’Riordan Street and Henderson Road, on land where rows of terraces were cleared for them. We run three-phase circuits, fit high-bay lighting and handle commercial electrical upgrades for tenants moving in.
We offer same-day service right across Alexandria, from Boundary Road down to Gardeners Road. Urgent jobs here tend to be a warehouse roller door motor losing power, a brewery cool room dropping out, a tripped main in a terrace near the Erskineville border, or water leaking into a converted loft’s light fittings.
Alexandria work comes from two very different crowds. On one side are business tenants in the converted factories and sheds south of McEvoy Street, who need power moved for new racking, extra circuits for machinery and lighting that suits a showroom rather than a loading dock. On the other are households in the northern residential pockets beside Erskineville and Waterloo, where 52.0 per cent of dwellings are rented and owners juggle old wiring with tenant turnover. As a local electrician in Alexandria we switch between both in the same week.
An older terrace by the Waterloo boundary might need a board with modern RCDs, while a new Green Square apartment might need its intercom or LED downlights sorted. When a fault cannot wait, our emergency electricians are dispatched from routes we already drive across the City of Sydney.
Former factories south of McEvoy Street keep changing hands between new tenants. We rearrange three-phase supply, add distribution boards and swap tired fluorescent battens for efficient high-bay fittings suited to the new use.
Residential pockets near Erskineville and Waterloo keep rows of older terraces, including the heritage-listed row on Retreat Street. We replace perished cable and add earthing without disturbing original facades.
Flats make up 65.2 per cent of Alexandria dwellings. We sort faults inside the lot, work with strata on common-area lighting and fit extra power points where kitchens and home offices lack outlets.
Just over half of Alexandria homes are rented, so agents book us at changeover to check RCDs, swap expired smoke alarms and leave dated paperwork for the owner's records.
Our licensed crew has worked through Alexandria warehouse switchrooms and cramped terrace meter boxes alike, so a mixed-use building on Mitchell Road holds few surprises for us.
A walk-through comes first, then a single written figure. Fitting lights in a Henderson Road warehouse and in a two-bed flat off Harley Street are priced as separate jobs.
When a factory unit off O’Riordan Street loses power mid-shift, or a Retreat Street terrace smells of burning plastic, we reshuffle the van schedule to reach you promptly.
Alexandria landlords, café owners and warehouse managers make up a solid part of our 250+ customers, and plenty were passed our number by a neighbouring tenant.
Every circuit we install in an Alexandria home or industrial unit carries a lifetime guarantee on our labour, from a single power point to a full three-phase board.
Let us know if your site has a loading dock, roller door or security gate code. We then pick an arrival slot that fits deliveries, shift changes or tenant access.
Once we have inspected the board and cable paths, you receive a plain explanation and a written figure, so the invoice matches what you agreed to.
Trucks crowd O’Riordan Street and McEvoy Street on weekdays, so we plan parking before we leave and ring if Gardeners Road traffic will push our arrival back.
Sawdust and cable offcuts are cleared, drop sheets lifted and the CCEW handed over, along with a short summary of which circuits changed in your unit or terrace.

Local pockets we cover in Alexandria
Nearby suburbs we also serve
Alexandria entered our diary soon after Spyro opened the doors in 2017, and it has since become one of the busiest corners of our map. It rewards electricians who can read a hundred-year-old factory board one morning and a brand-new apartment riser the next. Our team of five-plus licensed electricians now does exactly that, reworking power in old sheds, upgrading terrace switchboards near Alexandria Park and keeping warehouse lighting running for the businesses that still make and move goods here.

Alexandria was Australia’s largest industrial district by 1943, and warehouses, workshops and light industry still cover much of the suburb between Botany Road and Sydney Park. Many of those buildings are being handed to new tenants who need wiring that suits today’s uses rather than the manufacturers they were built for.
Each Alexandria job ends with our Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, as NSW requires, whether it is a factory sub-board or a single terrace light. Older industrial and residential boards here often lack residual current devices, and AS/NZS 3000 says any board we replace or alter must protect its final subcircuits with them. Type AC units have been off the table for new installations since 1 May 2023, so we choose Type A or better.
You get a fixed figure in writing before we start anything. Guessing by phone does not suit Alexandria, since adding circuits to a steel-framed warehouse with open cable trays is a very different job from threading new wiring through the brick walls of a Retreat Street terrace. We look, explain what is involved, then commit to one price.
Moving into a converted shed off O’Riordan Street, chasing a nuisance trip in a Mitchell Road unit, or preparing a terrace near Alexandria Park for sale? Ring 02 8999 3691 and a licensed electrician will inspect the job, give you a written fixed figure and back the labour for life.
Alexandria warehouse tenants, terrace owners, landlords and apartment residents raise these questions with us most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often the same day. Weekdays we work 7am until 5:30pm, Saturdays 7am until 2pm, and our vans pass through Alexandria constantly on the way to jobs around Green Square and the inner west. Phone 02 8999 3691 in the morning for the best chance of a same-day slot. Anything that sparks, smells hot or kills power to a business is moved ahead of routine bookings.
The price depends on what we find, so we do not list rates. Swapping lights in a new flat near Green Square takes far less time than running cable through the solid brick of an old terrace or across the high roof of a warehouse. We inspect first, talk you through the options and then give a written fixed figure that holds unless you ask for more.
Most converted Alexandria factories were wired for a single manufacturer decades ago. New tenants usually need the switchboard checked and brought up to current RCD requirements, three-phase loads rebalanced, lighting replaced and new circuits run for kitchens, bathrooms or equipment. We survey the building, confirm what the landlord owns and what you are responsible for, and give you a scope you can take to lease negotiations.
Often, yes. The residential streets near Erskineville and Waterloo still hold terraces that have been rewired in patches over a century. We commonly find old rubber or cloth insulation, missing earths and ceramic fuses with no RCD protection. We test every circuit, show you which are sound, and quote either a full rewire or a staged upgrade starting with the switchboard.
It depends where the fault is. Wiring from your own meter and board through your unit is normally the lot owner’s responsibility, while main boards, riser cables, car park and lobby lighting are usually common property. Flats make up 65.2 per cent of Alexandria homes, so we untangle this often. We trace the fault, then give you and the strata manager a written explanation of where it sits.
Yes. The Yiu Ming Temple at 16 to 22 Retreat Street was heritage listed in 1999 along with the terraced houses that line the street. Internal rewiring in those homes is generally possible, but we keep new meter boxes, conduit and outdoor lights off the front elevation and protect original plaster and joinery. If you are unsure what approval applies, check with the City of Sydney first.
Yes. Many Alexandria warehouses have off-street parking and three-phase supply, which suits fleet or customer EV charger installs. For homes, it depends on whether you have a garage, rear lane space or a strata car bay. We test headroom on the existing supply, lay a separate cable to the parking spot and confirm strata consent before we begin.
We do. With 52.0 per cent of Alexandria dwellings rented, landlords and agents call us regularly. NSW rules require a working alarm on every storey, repair within two business days of the tenant reporting a fault, replacement within ten years of the manufacture date, and a licensed electrician for hard-wired units. We can also book routine smoke alarm testing between tenancies.
Yes. Old industrial buildings converted to hospitality or fitness use rarely have the right circuits for espresso machines, commercial fridges, treadmills or brewing gear. We plan the load, upgrade the board, install lighting, exit signs and emergency luminaires, and schedule noisy work outside your trading hours so the opening date holds.
Every electrician on our team is licensed and insured. Since Spyro opened in 2017, we have completed more than 7,000 projects for over 250 customers. Our labour carries a lifetime guarantee, so if anything we installed in your Alexandria home or warehouse fails because of our workmanship, we return and fix it without charge.
We cover all of Alexandria 2015, including Mitchell Road, Botany Road, Ashmore Street, O’Riordan Street, Henderson Road, McEvoy Street, Retreat Street, Alexandria Park and the streets bordering Sydney Park and Alexandra Canal. We also work daily in Beaconsfield, Erskineville, Zetland, Rosebery, Waterloo, St Peters, Redfern and the rest of the City of Sydney.
