Live near Heffron Park, trade on the Bunnerong Road strip or sit on a strata committee by Matraville Sports High? Our current Matraville deals also stretch to homes around Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park and Somme Way. Bring the offer up when you phone and we apply it to your booking.
Matraville housing splits three ways. The 2021 Census recorded 47.6 per cent separate houses, 30.8 per cent semi-detached, terrace or townhouse dwellings and 21.3 per cent flats, while the NSW house share sits at 65.6 per cent. Cottages from the 1918 to 1921 soldiers’ settlement gave way after 1975 to roughly 440 Housing Commission flats. Over two thirds of local dwellings hold three or more bedrooms, so we regularly add new power points, split overloaded circuits and replace tired boards in family homes.
Business work here centres on the Bunnerong Road town centre, local churches, schools and childcare, with the Banksmeadow and Port Botany industrial belt just west. Bunnerong Road once carried a coal-fired power station that was the largest in the southern hemisphere. For shops and small workshops we trace faults, upgrade lighting and run dedicated circuits through our commercial electrical service.
Matraville requests for same-day service follow a familiar pattern: a safety switch that drops out after rain soaks an outdoor socket, a cooktop circuit dying in an older unit, or half a house going dark when an ageing fuse finally lets go. Phone early and we aim to reach you that day.
Families drive most of our Matraville bookings. Wikipedia notes that 51.1 per cent of households here are couples with children, well above the Randwick City figure, and the Census counted 1.7 vehicles per dwelling, so garages increasingly want a charger circuit or a workbench outlet. Landlords come next, because about a third of homes are leased. Working as your Matraville electrician, we split our week between renovation wiring, unit block common areas and shopfronts along Bunnerong Road.
Streets closer to Heffron Park lean towards freestanding homes, while the flats that replaced the soldiers’ cottages call for board and stairwell lighting work. A board that trips and refuses to reset counts as an urgent electrical repair, and we move quickly on it. The same crews look after Maroubra, Malabar, Hillsdale and the wider the Eastern Suburbs patch.
With 68 per cent of Matraville dwellings holding three or more bedrooms, older boards strain under air conditioners, induction cooking and home offices. We add circuits and rebalance loads so everything can run together.
Semi-detached and townhouse dwellings make up 30.8 per cent of homes here. We sort out shared meter panels, driveway lighting and which faults belong to the owners corporation rather than the individual lot.
The Housing Commission flats that replaced the soldiers' settlement went up after 1975. We refresh smoke alarms, fit RCDs and upgrade stairwell lighting for landlords and strata committees in these ageing blocks.
The town centre along Bunnerong Road holds a run of small shops and services. We handle signage lighting, refrigeration circuits and fault finding, scheduling the disruptive parts before opening time wherever possible.
We have opened up plenty of Matraville’s freestanding houses, townhouses and former Housing Commission flats, so we know where tired cabling usually hides and why it fails.
Every Matraville job begins with a look at the board and cable runs, then one written figure. A townhouse near Heffron Park and a unit off Bunnerong Road are priced on their own merits.
If a Matraville home loses power or smells of hot plastic, we reshuffle the day so a van working nearby in Maroubra or Hillsdale can get to you without a long wait.
Across the Randwick council area our 250+ customers keep growing in number, and Matraville families, landlords and Bunnerong Road shopkeepers make up a steady share of that group.
Workmanship on any circuit installed in a Matraville house, townhouse or flat carries a lifetime labour guarantee, which suits the many owners here who plan to stay for decades.
Book by phone with your street and any access notes, such as a shared townhouse driveway or a locked meter cupboard, and we set a time that fits around school pickups.
A look over your board and the affected circuits comes first, followed by one written figure. You approve it before any cable is cut, and that number is what appears on the invoice.
Parking is rarely hard on Matraville’s residential streets, so our van arrives within the agreed window. If Anzac Parade traffic slows us down, you hear from us before the window closes.
Before leaving we vacuum drill dust, take offcuts away, walk you through what changed and email the compliance certificate for your records or your property manager.

Local pockets we cover in Matraville

From one van under Spyro in 2017, we have become a crew of five-plus licensed electricians who work the southern end of Randwick City every week. Matraville suits us well: family homes needing more capacity, strata flats wanting safe common areas and shops that cannot afford downtime. The electrician who quotes your job is part of the crew that completes it, whether that means a switchboard upgrade in a three-bedroom house or fresh courtyard lighting at a townhouse.

About 68 per cent of Matraville dwellings have three or more bedrooms and the Census averaged 1.7 cars per home, so many boards now carry far heavier loads than they were designed for. Where a house still relies on one RCD for every circuit, or none at all, a safety switch upgrade is the most useful job we can do.
We lodge a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work after every Matraville visit, big or small. In homes that pre-date modern standards, any wiring we disturb is either brought up to scratch or noted in writing so you know where things stand. Once a board is altered or replaced, AS/NZS 3000 calls for residual current protection on its final subcircuits, and Type AC devices are off the table for new installations from 1 May 2023 onward.
You receive a fixed written figure before we start, never a guess over the phone. The reason is simple in Matraville: adding lights in a newer townhouse with open roof access is quick, while the same job in an older four-bedroom house with sarking, low eaves and patched cabling can take much longer. Seeing it first lets us commit to one honest number.
Fuses that keep blowing in an older family house near Heffron Park, a landlord chasing smoke alarm paperwork, or a Bunnerong Road shop short of power for new equipment? Phone 02 8999 3691. We come and see it, put a fixed figure in writing, and back the labour for life.
Matraville families, landlords, townhouse owners and Bunnerong Road business people raise these questions with us most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often, yes. Our hours are 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm Saturdays, and Randwick City sits on our daily routes. Ringing before lunch usually means a Matraville visit that afternoon. Sundays are closed. If you notice scorching, a buzzing board or a main switch that will not stay up, say so straight away and we treat it as urgent.
By looking at it first. Matraville homes vary a lot, from newer townhouses to older family houses with cabling added in stages over the years, and the difference shows in labour time. After an inspection we send a fixed figure in writing. It covers the scope we agreed, and it only changes if you decide to add something while we are there.
Usually the old board is being asked to do too much. Many Matraville homes were built for a few lights and a fridge, and now run split systems, dishwashers and home offices. Rewirable fuses also give no protection against electric shock. We test each circuit, find where the overload or fault sits, and quote a modern board with RCDs and circuit breakers sized for how your family lives now.
It depends on where the fault is. Circuits running from your own board into your townhouse are usually the owner’s responsibility, while shared meter panels, driveway lights and common area wiring normally fall to the owners corporation. Semi-detached and townhouse dwellings make up close to a third of Matraville homes, so we untangle this often. We locate the fault first and write up findings both parties can use.
NSW rules require a working alarm on every level, a repair within two business days once your tenant reports a fault, and replacement of any unit past ten years from its manufacture date. Only a licensed electrician may fit hard-wired units. Since roughly 34.6 per cent of Matraville homes rented, we do plenty of these checks and can book smoke alarm testing between leases with dated records for your file.
Yes. The 2021 Census averaged 1.7 vehicles per Matraville dwelling, so demand for home charging is growing wherever there is a garage or driveway. We check spare capacity at your board and main supply, run a dedicated circuit to the parking spot, and add RCD protection. If the board is already full or still on fuses, we explain what needs upgrading before the charger goes in.
The settlement was built from 1918 to 1921, and most of it was demolished from 1975 to make way for Housing Commission flats. The Dictionary of Sydney notes one cottage in Amiens Crescent and the 1927 school survive as heritage sites. For those, and for older homes nearby, we keep new conduits and fittings off street-facing walls and discuss any approvals with you before starting.
We do. The Matraville town centre is a strip of small businesses, and older tenancies often need more capacity for refrigeration, coffee equipment or better lighting. We run dedicated circuits, replace faulty fittings, sort out signage power and check exit and emergency lights. Noisy or power-off work can be booked before opening so customers are not affected.
Yes. With so many three and four bedroom homes in Matraville, families often want cooling in every bedroom. We install ceiling fans with proper bracing, run dedicated circuits for split systems, and check the board has room for the extra load. Where the board is already crowded, we suggest the tidiest way to fit everything without overloading it.
All of Matraville 2036, including the Bunnerong Road town centre, the streets around Heffron Park, Somme Way, Amiens Crescent, Finucane Crescent and the Anzac Parade frontage near Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park. We also work across Hillsdale, Eastgardens, Maroubra, Banksmeadow, Malabar, Chifley, Phillip Bay, Port Botany, Little Bay, Pagewood and Botany.
