Living near Northcott Place, running a studio on Marshall Street or catching a show at Belvoir Street Theatre? Our Strawberry Hills specials also cover Devonshire Street, Clisdell Street and the jazz pub end of Elizabeth Street. Bring up the deal on the phone and we take it off your quote.
Strawberry Hills is an urban place, not a census suburb, so there are no separate ABS figures for it. What stands here is well recorded: terraces from the old Strawberry Hill Estate, first subdivided in 1832, three-storey Housing Commission blocks along Devonshire and Clisdell Streets, the fifteen-storey Northcott Place tower completed in 1961, and newer apartment buildings. We handle switchboard replacements, lighting repairs and smoke alarms across all of these.
Once Central station was built, warehouses spread through streets like Marshall Street, and today the area mixes business with housing. Opera Australia, Creative Australia and Belvoir Street Theatre are based here, alongside the Strawberry Hills Hotel. We fit out offices, rehearsal rooms and hospitality spaces and provide ongoing commercial maintenance.
We offer same-day service right across this pocket east of Central, between Elizabeth, Devonshire and Clisdell Streets. Frequent urgent jobs: a blown circuit in a converted warehouse office, stairwell lights out in a walk-up block, or a terrace losing power after a storm.
Our Strawberry Hills clients include terrace owners, apartment owners, landlords and the arts and business tenants who occupy the old warehouse buildings. Because the precinct straddles the edges of Surry Hills and Redfern, a single street can hold an 1800s terrace, a 1960s tower and a converted office. As a Strawberry Hills electrician we are comfortable moving between all three in one afternoon.
Jobs here often involve tracing a fault through years of alterations, adding circuits for an arts studio, upgrading an ageing board in a terrace hallway, or relighting a small office on Marshall Street. For anything urgent, an emergency electrician can usually be with you quickly, since this little pocket sits close to Central and our routes across the City of Sydney.
The Strawberry Hill Estate was subdivided in 1832, and terraces still line nearby streets. We replace worn wiring, add earthing and improve circuits while protecting original plaster, cornices and street-facing facades.
Three-storey Housing Commission blocks on Devonshire and Clisdell Streets and the 1961 Northcott Place tower need board upgrades, stairwell lighting and clear separation of unit and common circuits.
Warehouses arrived on streets like Marshall Street after Central was built. We add power and lighting for offices, studios and creative workspaces now occupying these solid brick buildings.
With Belvoir Street Theatre, Opera Australia and the Strawberry Hills Hotel close by, we install data points, feature lighting and kitchen circuits planned around performance and trading times.
Our licensed electricians work regularly around Central and understand the mix here, from Victorian terraces to post-war Housing Commission blocks and warehouse buildings converted into offices and studios.
We see the job first, then commit to one written figure. A Devonshire Street walk-up and a converted Marshall Street warehouse office each get their own tailored quote.
When a studio or rehearsal space loses power ahead of a performance, or a hallway board sparks in a terrace, we reshuffle our day to get someone to you.
Inner-city renters, owners and small arts businesses sit among our 250+ customers, and the tidy, well-explained work they rate us for is what Strawberry Hills gets.
Every circuit we lay in a Strawberry Hills terrace, apartment or studio comes with labour guaranteed for life, including cable concealed behind old plaster or warehouse brick.
Give us the street, the building type and any intercom or lane access notes. We then pick a time that suits your work roster, your rehearsal schedule or your tenants.
We inspect the board and cable routes, explain the work plainly and supply a written fixed figure, so the final invoice matches what you agreed.
Parking near Central can be tricky, so we plan where the van goes before leaving and arrive in the window promised, phoning ahead if traffic on Elizabeth Street holds us up.
Drop sheets protect your floors, all waste goes in our van, and you receive a compliance certificate plus a brief written note of what was changed.

Our story began in 2017 when Spyro set up the company, and today five-plus licensed electricians work in and around Strawberry Hills often, thanks to its spot right beside Central. We like the variety: heritage terrace wiring one hour, a Housing Commission walk-up the next, then an office or studio in a former warehouse. The same crew carries each job from inspection to sign-off.

Building here ranges from terraces on the 1832 Strawberry Hill Estate to Housing Commission stock of the post-war decades and the 1961 Northcott Place tower. Many of these boards have been patched over decades, and upgrading them is the most common request we get east of Central.
NSW law requires a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work after every job, and each Strawberry Hills job we finish gets one. In older terraces and mid-century blocks, any wiring we disturb is tested and upgraded or reported in writing. AS/NZS 3000 requires residual current protection on final subcircuits when a board is altered or replaced, and Type AC devices are not permitted in new work since 1 May 2023.
We quote once we have seen the site. Phone prices fall short in Strawberry Hills: new lighting in a recent apartment may take a morning, while the same result in an 1800s terrace or a solid brick warehouse can mean lifting floorboards or chasing walls. Once we have assessed it, you get one written figure that holds unless you change the scope.
Old fuse board in a terrace near Devonshire Street, stairwell lights out in a walk-up, or a studio needing more power? Ring 02 8999 3691. We inspect in person, set a firm price on paper and stand behind that labour for life.
Terrace owners, apartment residents, landlords and arts and office tenants around Strawberry Hills ask us these questions. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Frequently, yes. We work weekdays from 7am through to 5:30pm and Saturdays from 7am to 2pm, and this pocket beside Central is on our regular routes. Phone 02 8999 3691 early and we can often be there before the day ends. If you smell burning or the main switch keeps tripping, tell us and we move it up.
We price each job after seeing it. Buildings here vary widely, from 1800s terraces to post-war public housing and warehouse offices, so a similar task can take very different time. After inspecting, we give you a single written fixed price that only changes if you ask for extra work.
Not separately. Strawberry Hills is an official urban place within parts of Surry Hills and Redfern rather than its own census suburb, so the ABS reports its homes inside those areas. We rely instead on what is known about the buildings here: old terraces, Housing Commission walk-ups, the Northcott Place tower and converted warehouses.
Terraces around Strawberry Hills were built well over a century ago and often rewired in stages, so we find cloth or rubber insulated cable, missing earths and boards with no RCDs. Extra appliances can overload old circuits. We test each circuit, explain which are sound and quote the work that matters most first.
It depends on ownership and location. In privately owned units, wiring from your own board is usually the owner’s responsibility, while main boards and stair lighting are common property. In government-owned housing, tenants should report faults to the housing provider. We trace faults and give a clear written finding to whoever is responsible.
Yes. With Opera Australia, Creative Australia and Belvoir Street Theatre nearby, we understand that creative spaces need dependable lighting and power for their equipment. We add dedicated circuits, install LED lighting and time the work around rehearsal and performance schedules so nothing clashes.
We do. Warehouses along streets like Marshall Street now hold offices and studios. We upgrade supply to the tenancy, add power along new partition walls, run data points and choose lighting suited to high ceilings and exposed brick, keeping cable runs neat where walls stay bare.
The law asks for an alarm in working order on each storey, a two business day turnaround once a tenant flags a fault, and replacement of any unit ten years past its build date. A mains-powered alarm has to go in through a licensed electrician. We can also carry out smoke alarm testing between tenancies and leave dated records.
Yes, where you have a private parking space such as a rear lane garage or a basement bay. We check spare capacity at your board, run a dedicated circuit and fit the charger, with strata approval if needed. We cannot install chargers on public streets.
