Live near Little Bay Beach, in the Prince Henry precinct or off Anzac Parade by The Coast Golf Club? Limited-time offers now apply to homes along this stretch, from the Rock Pool end across to St Michael’s Golf Club. Mention the offer when you ring to book.
Little Bay housing splits three ways. The 2021 Census counted 55.2 per cent flats, 28.9 per cent separate houses and 15.5 per cent townhouses or semis, and a quarter of homes hold four or more bedrooms. Much of the flat stock followed the release of the old Prince Henry Hospital grounds for housing after 2001, while older streets trace back to 1950s War Ballot blocks given to returned servicemen. We add circuits, swap tired switchboards, fit LED downlights and fix sea-air corrosion on outdoor fittings.
Commercial work here is small in scale but specific: two golf clubhouses, The Coast and St Michael’s, plus the Spinal Cord Injuries Australia centre and an Aboriginal health college on former hospital land. We handle commercial maintenance, emergency lighting tests and extra power for kitchens and pro shops, scheduled around tee times and client sessions.
Little Bay gets our same-day service on weekdays and until 2pm on Saturdays. Typical urgent calls: a townhouse board tripping after a southerly drives rain into an outdoor outlet, a salt-pitted balcony light shorting out, or a converted heritage building losing lighting across a whole floor.
Our Little Bay customers are an unusual mix. Apartment owners in the Prince Henry precinct call about strata boards and balcony lighting, families in the larger four-bedroom homes want more circuits for studies and kitchens, and investors need compliance sorted, since the 2021 Census showed 39.9 per cent of dwellings rented. Working as a Little Bay electrician, we also meet owners of 1950s ballot-era cottages chasing old fuse boards and patchy earthing.
Some jobs are shaped by the site itself. Nineteen heritage buildings survive from the Coast Hospital and Prince Henry years, so cable routes in those conversions take planning. Down near the beach, salt spray shortens the life of exterior fittings. When something fails suddenly, our emergency electricians come from the same crews that cover Malabar, La Perouse and the rest of the Eastern Suburbs.
Flats make up 55.2 per cent of Little Bay dwellings, many on the former hospital grounds. We work on unit boards, intercom power and common-area lighting, and report our findings clearly to the strata manager.
Nineteen buildings from the Coast and Prince Henry hospital years remain. Rewiring them means routing new cable without scarring original masonry and joinery, so we map each run before cutting anything.
Little Bay faces open ocean with Botany Bay close by. Salt settles on balcony lights, garden spotlights and outdoor outlets, so we fit sealed, weather-rated gear and replace corroded terminals before they fail.
One in four Little Bay homes has four or more bedrooms. Larger households load kitchens, laundries and air conditioning heavily, so we check capacity and add dedicated circuits rather than overload old ones.
Our licensed crew knows the gap between a post-2001 Prince Henry apartment and a 1950s War Ballot cottage, and wires each one to suit what sits behind its walls.
You get a written figure after we inspect. A balcony light swap near the Rock Pool and a board replacement off Anzac Parade are priced separately, never guessed over the phone.
A dead circuit after a coastal storm, a smoking outlet or a tripping main in a Little Bay townhouse moves up our day list, and we ring with a realistic arrival time.
Among our 250+ customers are Little Bay strata committees, landlords and golf-course neighbours, many referred by someone across the street or in the same building.
Every circuit, fitting and board we install between the chapel and St Michael’s Golf Club carries a lifetime guarantee on labour, including work inside the heritage hospital conversions.
Tell us whether you are in a secured apartment block or a freestanding house, and which gate or intercom to use. We then pick a slot around your work, school runs or golf.
We look over the board and cable paths, explain the options in plain words, then send a fixed price in writing before any tool comes out of the van.
Visitor bays in the Prince Henry precinct fill quickly, so we sort parking before leaving and arrive inside the agreed window. If Anzac Parade traffic slows us, we call ahead.
Sheets go down, sand and offcuts leave with us, and you receive the compliance paperwork plus a short written note on what we changed in your home.

Spyro started the business in 2017 and it has since grown to more than five licensed electricians. Little Bay became a regular stop as the former hospital land filled with new homes, and we now split our time here between strata buildings, family houses and the older ballot-era streets. The person who quotes your job turns up to do it, which matters in a suburb where access codes, heritage fabric and sea air all change how we work.

Little Bay mixes 1950s War Ballot houses with townhouses and apartments built after the hospital site opened to housing in 2001, so RCD coverage varies a lot from street to street. Coastal moisture makes earth leakage more likely, and a working safety switch is what cuts the power before a fault becomes a shock.
A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is issued for every Little Bay job, as NSW law demands, and it is lodged in your name. In a 1950s house that often means noting older wiring we uncover, and in the heritage hospital buildings it means documenting new cable paths clearly. Once a switchboard is touched, AS/NZS 3000 brings residual current protection onto each final subcircuit, and since 1 May 2023 Type AC devices cannot go into new work.
Our price is set after we see the job, and it arrives in writing as a single fixed amount. Two Little Bay jobs show why: adding lights to a recent apartment on the old hospital grounds can be quick, while the same fittings in a 1950s ballot-block house may involve crawling under timber floors and replacing brittle cable. We quote what your home actually needs, and the figure holds unless you add work.
Rusting balcony fittings, a fuse board from the ballot-block era, or a strata light that keeps failing in the Prince Henry precinct? Ring 02 8999 3691 and a licensed electrician will inspect in person, give you one written figure and back the labour for life.
Little Bay apartment owners, strata committees, landlords and families in the older ballot-era houses ask us these. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Most days, yes. Crews are out from 7am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and from 7am to 2pm on Saturday, and we run down Anzac Parade to Little Bay regularly. Ring 02 8999 3691 early and we will try to slot you in before the day ends. Mention any burning smell, sparking or a main switch that will not reset, since those calls jump the queue.
Only after an inspection. Little Bay has new apartments, heritage conversions and 1950s houses side by side, and the labour for an identical task differs a great deal between them. Once we have seen the job, you receive a written fixed price. It only changes if you ask us to add something while we are there.
Corrosion tops the list. Salt carried in off the ocean eats into outdoor power points, garden lights, balcony fittings and exposed terminals, which leads to safety switches tripping after wet weather. In the older 1950s homes we also find ceramic fuses, rubber-insulated cable and missing earths. We test the whole installation, replace corroded parts with weather-rated fittings and explain which circuits can stay.
It comes down to location. Wiring from your unit’s own board out to your rooms usually belongs to the lot, while main switchrooms, car park lighting and lobby circuits tend to be common property. With 55.2 per cent of Little Bay homes being flats, this question comes up constantly. We trace the fault first, then give you and the strata manager a written finding so the right party arranges the repair.
Yes. The former Prince Henry site at 1430 Anzac Parade is heritage listed, and nineteen buildings from the hospital era still stand, many adapted for new uses. Interior rewiring is usually possible, but we plan cable paths to avoid cutting into original brick and detail, keep new fittings discreet on facades and check with Randwick City Council or the owners corporation when approval questions arise.
They can. Strong southerly and south-easterly seas push spray well up the headlands, and wind-driven rain finds its way into outdoor boxes and poorly sealed lights. The usual symptom is a safety switch that trips overnight and resets by morning. We check seals, replace fittings with higher IP-rated gear and move exposed outlets to sheltered spots where the layout allows.
Usually. The Census found 37.1 per cent of Little Bay households have two vehicles, and many houses have a garage or driveway. We check spare capacity at your board, run a dedicated circuit to the parking spot and mount a wall charger. In apartment buildings we need strata approval first, and we can supply the load details the committee asks for.
About 39.9 per cent of homes here are rented, so this matters locally. NSW requires a working alarm on every storey, a reported fault fixed within two business days, and replacement once an alarm reaches ten years from its manufacture date. Hard-wired alarms must be fitted by a licensed electrician. We install and test smoke alarms between tenancies and leave dated records for your agent.
We do. Clubhouses, pro shops, kitchens and health facilities all need reliable power and compliant emergency lighting. For premises around The Coast Golf Club, St Michael’s Golf Club and the former hospital land, we add circuits, replace failed exit signs, run data points and schedule noisy work outside peak hours so members and clients are not disrupted.
Many ballot-era homes here still carry original cable in parts of the roof and subfloor. During a renovation we usually recommend replacing any rubber-insulated wiring, upgrading the board to full RCD coverage and adding kitchen and laundry circuits sized for modern appliances. Doing it while walls are open avoids patching fresh plaster later and keeps the finished rooms clean.
All of Little Bay 2036, including the Prince Henry precinct, Anzac Parade, Murra Murra Place, the beach and Rock Pool end, the War Memorial Chapel area and the streets around The Coast and St Michael’s golf clubs. We also work regularly in North Little Bay, Phillip Bay, Malabar, La Perouse, Chifley, Matraville and Maroubra.
