Own a cottage on Cook Avenue, rent a flat off Boussole Road or look after a home facing Rowland Park? Our Daceyville specials cover Astrolabe Park, Colonel Braund Crescent and the Haig Avenue streets as well. Name the offer during your call so it lands on the invoice.
Daceyville began as the Dacey Garden Suburb, laid out by Sir John Sulman on the Letchworth model, and it still reads that way. The 2021 Census put semi-detached, row and terrace homes at 72.1 per cent, six times the 11.7 per cent NSW share, with separate houses at 15.4 per cent. A 1980s renewal slotted two-storey flats into old rear gardens. We do rewiring for century-old cottages, board changes behind original facades and extra circuits for kitchens that were never designed for modern appliances.
Daceyville is a quiet residential pocket, so our non-domestic work centres on the buildings that serve it: Daceyville Public School between Bunnerong Road and Banks Avenue, St Michael’s Church, the OLSH Convent on Haig Avenue and the Dacey Gardens depot. We look after lighting, power and periodic testing for sites like these.
Our same-day service reaches every crescent in 2032. Typical urgent calls from this housing stock: a shared wall cottage where half the rooms go dark, an old ceramic fuse that keeps blowing, a scorched outlet behind a heater, or a hallway light out in one of the 1980s blocks.
About three in four Daceyville homes were rented in 2021, a figure shaped by more than a century of government ownership, and since 2021 the state has been auctioning some of those houses to private buyers. That gives us two quite different customer groups: landlords and managers keeping tenanted homes compliant, and new owners wanting to know what is hiding in the walls before they renovate. As a Daceyville electrician, we see both kinds of job every month.
Residents skew older too, with a median age of 56 and more than half of households made up of one person. So brighter entry lighting, extra power points at bench height and switches placed where they are easy to reach come up often. When something fails suddenly, an urgent electrical repair gets priority on our route through Kingsford, Pagewood and the rest of the Eastern Suburbs.
Most Daceyville homes are semi-detached cottages inside a heritage conservation area. We rewire them room by room, keep new work off the street face and check nothing on your side still feeds next door.
The 1980s housing renewal added two-storey apartment buildings on land that was once rear gardens and parks. We replace their tired unit boards, fix stair lighting and add circuits for split systems.
With 38.5 per cent of locals over 65, we often relocate switches, add sensor lights on paths and fit brighter LED lighting so moving around the home at night is simpler and safer.
Since 2021 former public houses have gone to auction. New owners call us to inspect the board, measure insulation on old cable and price a switchboard upgrade before they move in.
Our licensed electricians know how Daceyville’s paired cottages share walls, roof space and sometimes supply routes, and we test both sides before touching anything that crosses the boundary.
A Colonel Braund Crescent cottage and a two-storey 1980s flat off Astrolabe Road need very different effort, so each gets its own written fixed amount once we have inspected it.
Lights out in a single-person household or a fuse that keeps blowing in a tenanted cottage is treated as a priority, and we aim to reach Daceyville the same day.
Among our 250+ customers are Daceyville landlords, long-term residents and first-time buyers of former public homes, many introduced by a neighbour across the shared back park.
Circuits we install in a Daceyville home carry a lifetime labour guarantee, which matters when the cottage itself has already stood for around a hundred years.
Let us know if your home is tenanted, owner-occupied or newly purchased, and whether access is through the front or the rear park. We then pick a slot around your routine.
After testing the old circuits and checking the roof space, we write out the full scope and one fixed figure, so you can plan any rewiring before plaster goes back.
Street parking along Cook and Banks Avenues is easy, so the van sits right outside and we arrive inside the window we promised, calling ahead if Gardeners Road traffic delays us.
Dust sheets protect original floors and joinery, old cable and fittings leave with us, and you get your compliance certificate plus a plain summary of the work done.

Spyro founded the business in 2017, and it has grown into a team of five-plus licensed electricians. Daceyville is one of the more interesting places on our map. Its streets carry First Fleet and war memorial names, Colonel Braund Crescent is called Australia’s first cul-de-sac, and many cottages still hold early wiring. We enjoy bringing homes like these up to current standards without spoiling the character that a conservation area exists to keep.

A 1918 bird’s-eye view already shows the Dacey Garden Suburb built out, and 72.1 per cent of dwellings here are still semi-detached or row homes. Now that the state is auctioning former public houses, rewiring these cottages is the job new Daceyville owners ask about most.
NSW requires a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for every job, and each Daceyville visit ends with one lodged in your name. Cottages here are around a century old, so disturbed cable is either replaced or noted in writing rather than left as it was. AS/NZS 3000 also means any board we swap or alter gets RCD protection across its final subcircuits, and Type AC devices, banned from new work since 1 May 2023, never go in.
No phone guesses: we inspect, then commit to one written figure. The spread between Daceyville homes is wide. A power point in a 1980s two-storey flat with an accessible ceiling can take very little time, while the same job in a paired cottage with lath walls, low roof space and cable shared across the party wall takes considerably more. You see the full cost before work begins.
Just collected the keys to a former public home on Banks Avenue, or managing a tenanted cottage whose fuses keep blowing? Call 02 8999 3691. We will send a licensed electrician to Daceyville, test the wiring room by room and leave a written fixed quote, with labour guaranteed for life.
Daceyville landlords, new owners of former public homes and long-term residents ask us these most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
In most cases. Our hours are 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm on Saturdays, and we are closed Sundays. Daceyville sits between Kingsford and Pagewood, both on our regular routes, so an early call to 02 8999 3691 usually secures a visit that day. Sparking outlets, a hot smell from the fuse box or a whole cottage without power are moved ahead of planned work.
We cannot fairly say until we have looked. A century-old paired cottage with lath walls and cramped roof space behaves nothing like a 1980s flat, and the state of the existing wiring changes everything. After the inspection we provide one fixed amount in writing. It only changes if you add items, and we will always tell you before anything extra happens.
Start with the switchboard and a full circuit test. Homes that were government-owned for decades often have a mix of original cable, later patches and partial RCD coverage. We check the board, insulation, earthing and every outlet, then give you a written list ranked by urgency. That helps you plan a renovation without paying twice to open the same walls.
It can. In paired Daceyville cottages we sometimes find cable crossing the roof space from one side to the other, or a light on your side fed from the neighbour’s circuit. Before any work we isolate and test both halves where we can, then separate the supply so each home is independent. We let you know if the neighbour needs to be involved.
Internal rewiring and board upgrades are generally fine, but the street appearance is protected. Daceyville is a heritage conservation area and was listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1991. We keep meter boxes, conduit and external lights away from facades where we can and use existing openings. For anything visible from the street, confirm approval requirements with Bayside Council first.
Every level of a rented home needs a working alarm. Once a tenant reports a fault, repairs must happen within two business days, and alarms older than ten years from their manufacture date have to be replaced. A licensed electrician must install any hard-wired unit. With 75.6 per cent of Daceyville homes rented, we fit smoke alarms across multiple properties for landlords and supply dated records.
Yes, and it is common work here. Daceyville’s median age is 56 and more than half of households have one occupant. We add sensor lights to paths and the back door, move switches to sensible heights, install illuminated switches in hallways and add outlets so cords no longer cross walkways. Small changes like these reduce trips and falls.
We do. The two-storey blocks built during the 1980s renewal often have small unit boards, limited circuits and ageing stair and entry lighting. We upgrade boards, add circuits for air conditioning and replace common-area fittings with efficient LED units. We confirm with the owner or managing agency which work sits inside the flat and which is shared.
Sometimes. Census figures show 0.9 vehicles per dwelling here, and a charger needs somewhere off the street to park. If your block has a driveway or rear hardstand, we check the board has room for a dedicated circuit, run the cable and mount the unit. If your old board is already full, we quote the upgrade alongside the charger.
All of Daceyville 2032, including Colonel Braund, General Bridges, Captain Jacka and Colenso Crescents, Cook, Banks and Haig Avenues, Astrolabe and Boussole Roads, Rowland Park, Astrolabe Park and Dacey Gardens. We also work regularly in Kingsford, Pagewood, Eastlakes, Rosebery, Kensington, Randwick, Maroubra and Eastgardens.
